Where is God? - Mark Nepo


 It is as if what is unbreakable -
The very pulse of life- waits for
everything else to be torn away,
and then in that bareness that
only silence and suffering and 
great love can expose, it dares 
to speak through us and to us.

It seems to say, if you want to last,
hold on to nothing. If you want
to love, let in everything.
If you want to feel the presence
of everything, stop counting
the things that break along the way.
