LITTLE ONE

Almost seven and one-half billion people are waiting for you
Little one –
Humanity’s morning star.

Are you, even now, a small child now running around in the grass and trees
Of Brazil, Argentina, or Peru –
Thinking about God
In your pure child’s mind?

As “the purest girl in the world”
You’ll be able to see reality – in other words, “God” –
You’ll “taste” love; hear the truth; and smell justice with your little nose –
Everything will come easy for your quicksilver mind
And no one will pass you on the street without noticing your intense beauty –
Your parents already aware of what a treasure you are.

Little one, we don’t ask too much –
Just tell us what God looks like through your clear eyes
And what God is whispering in your secret dreams.

You’ll have the confidence of the angels surrounding God’s throne
And be “born again” an infinite numbers of times – even as a child –
As many births as the number of stars in the sky twinkling in your dark hair –
Jesus, Buddha, and Mohammed will all be in awe of you
Since you’ll embody Love, Truth, Justice, and Beauty –
A young South American woman as a true reflection of God.

Yes, God will soon send us “the purest-hearted girl in the world” –
To be the true Avatar for our age –
And who’ll explain everything to us,
Including how to get back to “Eden” – back before we developed egos –
Where it all began –
Back when we were still our “true selves.”

TRUTH

The truth we’ve been searching for appears just over the horizon –
But, even though we’ve been traveling a long time,
We never seem to get there.

On the other hand, since the truth we’ve already attained
Is like daylight – we usually take it for granted –
Forgetting the previous night’s total darkness.

Truth is beautiful!
And gets more so, the closer we get –
The very approach is thrilling –
Whether as science, art, or attribute of God.

Once a person starts down this path
It’s almost impossible to stop.

Searching for truth is like reaching our hands and hearts out to God –
A goal one might sacrifice one’s “self” for –
Because, with both God and truth, dying to the “self” leads to direct access.

Reputation, wealth, and notoriety,
Mean next to nothing when truth’s come closer –
The best part, however, is that we’ll never reach any “final” possession –
Because there’s always more truth beyond what we’re, presently, able to attain.

So, truth, like God, is usually just barely out of reach –
No matter how avidly we’ve been following its light.

ONCE SHE’S ARRIVED

What will the purest girl in the world say
Once she’s arrived?

I think she’ll speak from the pure and loving heart of Jesus –
Be balanced and sane as the Buddha –
And “hear” God perhaps more clearly than Mohammed –

And more – she’ll tell us her own thoughts.

Pure as a tumbling mountain stream
Refreshing as first sight of sparkling ocean waves
Radiant as sun pouring through shimmering green leaves –
She’ll come – and refresh our hearts.

Our present society is reliant upon the continual creations of science and technology
To address any problems we believe may be unsolvable –
And resolutely looks to its ever-growing prosperity and magical-seeming inventions
To save us – but, intuitively, we know there will be no true salvation
Based solely upon material innovations.

Perhaps we need to start looking in another direction entirely –
For example, to the arrival of “the purest-hearted girl in the world” –
Who’ll be bringing us the spiritual gifts we need to survive –
And who’ll patiently explain the answers to our many unanswered questions.

She’ll be gentle, manifesting as Love (yes, with a capital “L”) –
Know just what we need –
And be willing to bring it –

Quietly and joyfully.
