where do you search me

i feel a deepening urge to search. 

a thirst for knowledge,

not of the head,

but deeper.

in my belly.

i'm engulfed with a sense of something...

looming?

many emails written, unsent.

many of them sent, but even still, unfinished.

the necessary things have been clarified.

rightfully so.

sometimes space is needed so that we may grow to fill the space.

sometimes it's wanted so that we feel able to breathe again.

i want this space,

this time,

this opportunity

to grow

my faith.

i am weak, but Thou art strong.

Where do you search me?

I am with you

Not in pilgrimage, nor in icons

Neither in solitudes

Not in temples, nor in mosques

Neither in Kaba nor in Kailash

I am with you O man

I am with you

Not in prayers, nor in meditation

Neither in fasting

Not in yogic exercises

Neither in renunciation

Neither in the vital force nor in the body

Not even in the ethereal space

Neither in the womb of Nature

Not in the breath of the breath

Seek earnestly and discover

In but a moment of search

Says Kabir, Listen with care

Where your faith is, I am there.
