Don't speak of your suffering -- He is speaking. Don't look for Him everywhere -- He's looking for you.
An ant's foot touches a leaf, He senses it; A pebble shifts in a streambed, He knows it.
If there's a worm hidden deep in a rock, He'll know its body, tinier than an atom,
The sound of its praise, its secret ecstasy -- All this He knows by divine knowing.
He has given the tiniest worm its food; He has opened to you the Way of the Holy Ones.
