To See Me, Be Me

Here’s the ultimate riddle:

“I am everyone,

but no one sees

me. Who am I?”

God.

How can this be?

We see what we imagine…

a “homeless person”

“police officer”

“mother”

“clerk”

“student”

“criminal”

“nurse”

 While we have a backstory for each, we never 

see God behind the masks.

Nor do the figures experience God in themselves.

But wipe clean the “doors of perception,”

remove masks and narratives,

and what a homecoming we would have.

One loving family  

awaking from a long nightmare.

What is the moral here?

God replies,

“You must be me to see me.”

Awaken divine consciousness and the 

face of God will shine in everyone you meet.
