Meditations on God

God I welcome this confusion
I welcome this discomfort
this lack of understanding
because I know
that even in what feels like
your absence
even in what feels like
desolation
you are always near
nearer to me
than I am to myself
shaping me
guiding me
writing this love story
for me
