I woke up at 3:33 in the morning.

I was alone and yet I was told He was there.

It was dark outside and there was but one bird chirping.

I spoke to Mother, Father and the Holy Spirit.

He was not there and yet I was told He was there.

The sky began to lighten.

I could see the sunrise and could hear the birds chiming in the morning.

He was not there and yet I was told He was there.

There was not much work today, so I sat in the bed looking up at the ceiling, alone.

My mind was idle.  My thoughts were lukewarm.  My skin was just there.

Then, I asked myself,

“How could I have woken up . . . there be a bird singing. . .

The change in the light of the sky . . . there be, a sunrise . . .

More birds singing . . . my mind relaxed . . . my thoughts, pleasant . . .

My skin, glistening . . .?

All things created . . .He must have been there . . . like I was told He was there.
