Making room for God
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
There’s too much “stuff.”
So I’m going on a diet.
Not the usual diet,
of cutting sweets and fats.
I won’t be counting calories,
or checking cholesterol.
No, this diet is different.
This diet is designed
to make room for God.
This diet is designed
to fatten me up
—to satisfy my spiritual sense.
I’m going on a “stuff” diet.
I’m getting rid of the stuff that keeps me
from quiet communion with God.
And the “rushing around smartly”* stuff.
And the list stuff.
