Seek and Find

Found Jesus in a grilled cheese

His mother on a tree

The word “God” in an eggplant

(You have to squint to see…)

We’re told we’re in His likeness

As we kneel beneath the steeple

So when I seek the face of God

I just look at His people

Love it. We were just talking about this the other day when I noticed then my wife a picture of a child in a woman's bruise. I joked "I'm glad we didn't see the face of Jesus or we'd have to pray to it."

Haha! I am always fascinated by the stories of where people see a divine image. Some of them are pretty cool images, though! :)

[Zahra]

Interesting. The divine is not in just chanting and prayers but recognising it in everything in this world matters the most. Very nice.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Voice!

[Cassie]

this is so so so good, I enjoyed...it kind of brought happy tears to my face. you are one of those Gods people...that sandwich is at its right place right now....hunger pangs!!!!

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Nothing like a good grilled Jesus, I guess! Thanks, Cassie!

[Frieda P]

Ha where the heck do you find this stuff...my veggies must be agnostic. ;)

[Rita L. Sev]

Lol! Not if you look hard enough... :)

[Frieda P]

My mushrooms genuflected in olive oil, is that good enough? haha ;-)

[Rita L. Sev]

Olive oil... around here we call that "chrism" :)

[Frieda P]

Wow that's some evoo ;-) I bet you don't even have to go to confession after that haha

This has always been a purely subjective phenomenon...being as I am a spiritual person though, I'm willing to give anything a chance haha I only wish people would not ridicule those who are interested in such things though...that's why I don't reveal my spirituality too often...I just can't be bothered with obnoxious and self-righteous people. But I digress. I love the way you mingled various references, and especially loved the rhyme which adds a tongue-in-cheek element to it. A most interesting piece :)

Thanks, Steve. These stories always intrigue me; on one hand, some of the images are pretty eerie. On the other, they sometimes feel like people are grasping at straws...

[T.H. Dalton]

Interesting and good job.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you very much, T.H.

[Lyn Anderson]

I love this. I think all that stuff is so silly, because, of course, if you believe in the divine, all you have to do is look to nature and all its amazing wonders for "the face of God"

[Rita L. Sev]

When I read these stories I wonder what it is that they are really seeking... Thanks, KL.

[Baby Ricochet]

That's one dry a*s looking sandwich

[Rita L. Sev]

It's been sitting around having its picture taken, what do you expect? Perhaps some wine... ;)

[Marie]

Excellent plan. God can be found everywhere if we just look.

[Rita L. Sev]

Amen, Marie! Though I think the sandwich is a bit creepy... :)

[A. Amos]

Rita this one was nice and interesting:)

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, A - these stories of where people "find" the divine always intrigue me!
