Follow Me

 There exists a man, rumored by many to be an idiot, alive in the unknown, questioning time, not sure if life has the potential to lead forward or back, or which way the world is moving. He stands in a mysterious unknown place, perhaps a part of the infinite, admiring nearby hills, their grassy slopes, and numerous wild flowers. The man often recognizes God's voice speaking to him in clear thoughts.

"Follow me Donald", God says to him and Donald listens walking down a winding path through a meadow, past a stream, up a rising hillside past a patch of daffodils. He sees blue jays and a red-breasted robin fly by in song while gazing up at an azure sky into a forever blue but for wondering white clouds and one soaring bald eagle. On he trods around the twisting trail until he arrives at the hills peak and looks around. Wilderness meets his eyes, in the unknown distance, while noticing foreign lands, and unique valleys.

God says to me now again: "Follow me" and so I listen and on I go beyond the world, my heart leaping in my chest, until suddenly my eyes are opened. It is here that a higher truth is mysteriously revealed to me. I swallow saliva down my throat and say in awe in a low hushed voice, "What is the impressive scenery that I now look upon? What place is it that I am now being lead to? What mystery is this that I'm part of? What good is real and what are those ways about and where might they take me to?"

Looking up through a white mist I imagine an island in the sky, with a rocky cliff at its edge, patches of grass, and a trickling waterfall. The water streams over the precipice, falling and splashing into a pool, before overflowing the island and landing on the ground before my feet.

I say to God looking up at the imagined island. "God I know you're good. I know your ways are fair. I trust you unlike the deep distrust I have for other men. You are my God, my dearest friend". 

 "The hills you admire have their own eyes Donald". God says to me. "Tomorrow I will show you how the phenomena you contemplated in your world is only part of what I have prepared for you. In me is an endlessness; my plan and mystery reach far beyond the world you know. My kingdom transcends the temporary path you wonder on. The highest heights you imagine are not the pinnacle of my potential. I am one in which newness is never exhausted and possibility never at its end. I know of ways that reach beyond all revealed beauty, leading beyond hidden boundaries that approach newer realities, new mysteries, and unseen otherworldliness that I will gladly show you that will cause you to marvel with joy. Our friendship is a strong one Donald; nothing will come between us. Tell them they are loved if they will hear you; they need to know. "
