In all of my attempts at romance, I now realize I had been searching for that one face to love, inspire my imagination, and seduce my soul. I first caught sight of that sacred face in Jesus, and then in Francis, Yogananda, and, of course, Vicki. Now, whenever I turn inward, their faces are ever before me, mirroring the faceless face of God. I pray to see the face of God in the faces of all who love me. Even more, I pray to see the face of God in the world, in those who are lonely, hungry, and powerless. I pray to see the divine face in those faces that are different from mine, in those with different politics and religions, even in those who reject and misunderstand me.
Divine Mother,
I pray to see
Your sacred face
Everywhere.
