Running

+

This Fugitive Futility,

Don't you know?

I AM The Voice from which you run

I AM The Ship on which you steal away

I AM The Fish by which you are swallowed

I AM Shore

Sail your Jonah heart

As far as you can

Into the horizon of your choosing,

You find you run in circles,

Journey ends where it begins

One and the same

God's Global Boundary

Deity's Design

Set in place to safeguard

The Beloved

See in this Planet upon which you've been placed

The metaphor of Me it is meant to be

The Textbook in which you live

This virtual reality

in which you learn

What Is Real

So run if you will

As far as you can

All your running leads back to where it began

Into The Waiting Arms of Omnipresent Omega

Into My Encircling, All Encompassing Embrace

Into the womb of My All-and-In-All Ancient Longing Heart

Which has held you all along

Which you never really left

Anyway

"You have hemmed me in, behind and before, and laid Your Hand upon me...Where can I go from Your Spirit?  Or where can I flee from Your Presence?  If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, You are there.  If I take the wings of morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me."

-Psalm 139: 5-10
