I, too, chose to leave the Oneness
to find my own consciousness
to add to the Light of God.
Along the way, I became forgetful,
as you have,
and I found myself wallowing, it seemed,
in a world so separate from God
that when the full realization of that horrifying belief
came to me,
I felt darkness all around.
Yet, as the longing and the pain increased,
I began to turn,
just as you have done,
to seek the Light,
knowing that if I felt pain because of lack of Light
then there must be Light.
If darkness were my natural home
I would be comfortable there.
So I turned,
as you have done,
and climbed mountains and forded streams
and prayed in mosques and temples and churches
and followed teachers and stumbled and walked again
until I came to the time of evolution
when I could say truly and completely,
“I am one with God.”
