 After a conversation with a man who said he was only interested in meditation if it led to levitation, I went home and wrote this short poem in the fall of 2013.
A man once asked me Will meditation lead to levitation? “I don't think so,” I said, “I've been trying to rise above my faults and weaknesses for years!” One day in silent prayer on my quest toward the clouds to touch the face of God I looked down. There I saw Jesus with rolled up shirt-sleeves, mud up to his elbows standing in the place I'd just left. I don't know about levitation but meditation led me back to the sod, for in the place of fault and weakness I saw the face of God.
