What is this?

Bobby Lewis

Here’s the thing:
If you know what it isn’t, 
you don’t have to google
what it is.

Because if it’s disturbing,
discordant, painful, or frightening,
it sure as heck isn’t from God, good,
and if it isn’t from that infinite source,
it has not a smidgen of permission
to be present in your life—
it has nothing on you.

So do you really have to find out 
what nothing is?
No, in fact, you don’t;
the question’s been answered
by you already knowing
what it isn’t.

You are free to move on 
to what divine Mind knows— 
to what truly is.
