I AM There
Do you need Me? I AM there.
You cannot see Me, yet I AM the light you live by.
You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.
You cannot feel Me, yet I AM the power at work in your hands.
I AM at work, though you do not understand My ways.
I AM at work, though you do not recognize My works.
I AM not strange visions. I AM not mysterious.
Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know Me as I AM,
and then but as a feeling and a faith.
Yet I AM there. Yet I hear. Yet I answer.
When you need Me, I AM there. Even in your pain, I AM there.
I AM in you, and you are in Me.
Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me,
For only in your mind are the mists of "yours" and "mine."
Yet only in your mind can you experience Me.
Empty your heart of empty fears. When you get out of the way, I AM there.
You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all. And I AM in all.
Though you may not see the good, the good is there, for I AM there.
I AM there because I have to be, because I AM.
Only in Me does the world have meaning;
Only out of Me does the world take form;
Only because of Me does the world go forward.
I AM the law on which the movement of the stars
and the growth of living cells are formed.
I AM the love that is the law's fulfilling.
I AM assurance. I AM peace. I AM oneness.
I AM the law that you can live by.
I AM the love that you can cling to.
I AM your assurance. I AM your peace. I AM one with you. I AM.
Though you fail to find me, I do not fail you.
Though your faith in Me is unsure, My faith in you never wavers, because I know you,
Because I love you.
Beloved, I AM there.
.. James Dillet Freeman
(Left on the moon by Apollo XV astronaut James B. Irwin)
Note: the strength of this beautiful poem comes from the "I AM" spoken out loud. "I AM" invokes the Oneness, the Allness, the Great Spirit, the Ultimate Stuff or whatever you might call a higher power.
