you know that you know

The world is not what we see

that is what is so tricky

we get all hung up with what we can see

with our own eyes

but there is so much more going on

that can only be seen in faith

that can only be felt in the heart

and confirmed with discernment

and validated in ways that cannot be made touchable

so that they are doubted and scrutinized

but not for the ones who feel it

and know in their heart of hearts

you can try to wring it out of us

or convince us otherwise

but we know what we know

we are convinced in divine circumstance

and it is knitted in our hearts

by seeing the love spread

and it dwells in perfect timing and interconnectedness

this bond that weaves out and reaches

that touches and prunes

and edifies and molds

it pushes us to our best

and quiets our deepest inner voice

so we can hear

so that we can know

that we know

that we know

that God really does exist

and is ALIVE

and loving

through us

now
