The mercy of God
They sell a child’s car
seat
with a steering wheel
attached
to keep junior busy in
the backseat
driving the car along
with Dad.
Such is my relationship
with God.
I’ve sought most of my
life and failed
to find one truth which
would
disprove the obvious,
terrifying notion
that I am utterly at the
mercy of God.
God Almighty has
left me no choice,
no influence, power or
control.
No saving myself through
any efforts,
merit, prayers of my
own.
Yes, all the Realized
Ones
say God is Love. God is my true Self.
I am firmly lodged under
my own thumb.
But that truth is so very
far away.
Not much comfort to my
unrealized self
with no work to do, no
vows to keep,
no power of rescue or the
alleviation of pain.
O child of God, becoming
helpless and hopeless
is not an attainment but
a revelation.
