Thank You for Nature’s Cathedral and the Real Face of God
Seeking God, I crossed a bridge, made by the hands of men,
to find a church, made by the minds of men,
Empty
Steel bars blocked the door,
banishing me, but not my eye
I peered through to look for an invisible God
I turned from this empty church,
that would hold God hostage,
that would leave me outside
I saw others,
curious like me but not about the face of God
Curious about me, that I would look for such a thing
I abandoned the man made bridge
and reached my own hand across the river,
to touch those who watched me look for God
They were gentle in their manner,
receptive to my reach
no judgment for my quest
One of them bowed to me,
showing me the true face of God
and God cried one tear

Splendid photography, superlative poetic text, & a theme that should guide others to sanity, but more likely can be heard only by the few persons in this society who retain their minds despite millennia of vast, costly, murderous & innumerably varied & deceitful efforts to steal them.
I am with the horse, not on his back but by his side.
and i know you!!!:))))
