And Upon the Stillness of a Cloud Filled Afternoon

Western Slopes of Haleakala
Mauka Mists
Gazing out over the isthmus of the island of Maui at sunset.

“And upon the stillness of a cloud-filled afternoon, the child asked of the Mystic: “Where is God, the Creator, and how will I endeavor to find the sacredness of His Being?”

And the Mystic answered: Once upon a thousand years ago did a man seek the answer to your very question. He searched the mountains for the One called God; But he only saw the green and yellow blanket of distant aspen trees.

He walked along the ocean shore, to know the Creator of Life; But all he heard was the rhythmic roar of the tide’s own song.

He rode across the prairie, looking to find God at his journey’s end; But all that came to him was the sweet fragrance of the wild flower’s bloom.

He reached out for the sky, pleading for a sign of His Presence; But he only felt the vastness and timelessness of the starlit night.

Oh foolish man that he was, to search for God with the eyes of his mind;
When He was forever with him, when seen through the eyes of his soul.” ~

Listen close and you shall hear the whispering wind both far and near. Truths revealed while all alone that you might find the way back Home. ~ excerpt from The Prophet’s Candle by Daniel
