Interview With God

I dreamed I had an interview with God

So you would like to interview me God asked

If you have the time I said

God smiled. My time is eternity

What questions do you have in mind for me

What surprises you most about humankind

God answered...

That they get bored with childhood

They rush to grow up, and then

Long to be children again

That they lose their health to make money...

And then lose their money to restore their health

That by thinking anxiously about the future

They forget the present

Such that they live in neither

The present nor the future

That they live as if they will never die

And die as though they had never lived

God’s hand took mine

And we were silent for a while

And then I asked...

As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons

You want your children to learn

To learn they cannot make anyone love them

All they can do is let themselves be loved

To learn that it is not good

To compare themselves to others

To learn to forgive

By practicing forgiveness

To learn that it only takes a few seconds

To open profound wounds in those they love

And it can take many years to heal them

To learn that a rich person

Is not one who has the most

But is one who needs the least

To learn that there are people

Who love them dearly

But simply have not yet learned

How to express or show their feelings

To learn that two people can

Look at the same thing

And see it differently

To learn that it is not enough that they

Forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves

Thank you for your time, I said humbly

Is there anything else

You would like your children to know

God smiled and said

Just know that I am here... always
