Stories of Lost Children

Manifestation of God
by Paul Durand, Northridge, CA, U.S.A.

Manifestation of God

Tossing and turning on a restless, long-ago night,
I reached for something boring to read
(Better than counting sheep!)

A Webster' Dictionary on the night stand seems to offer,
A handy source for potential sleep material.

The A', B' and C' flew by with no weariness in sight.
The same is true of many more letters of the alphabet.
In the T', my eyes come upon a message I had not expected.

"Tiffany" A mythical elflike creature. A Manifestation of God.

I broke down weeping at the truth of this statement,
As it applied to my departed child-
A perfect, elflike manifestation of God.
The memory sent waves of grief sweeping over me.

Today the Minister is speaking of The Master,
The Great Example, not the Great Exception.
It is the God in Me which does the work.
The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.

So, The Creator made all of us with His same stuff?
Forging all of us out of the Grand Divine?
Then we, too, must be tiffanies,
All manifestations of God.

My tears are joyous today.
We, I and Tiffany,
All belong to the Great Spirit's Universe.
