The Talk

By Mona Akra

A dear friend once told her: "Talk to God... It is an amazing feeling."

That day, in the dead of night, she sat at the window of her room and stared into the cloudy, dark night. And she just started talking. It was a talk that made her feel small, insignificant, and somehow struck her with awe.

At some point she was just looking at the sky and not saying anything.. And eventually the childish words left her: "God, where are you?"

It is something that still makes her want to cry when she remembers it. And she realized that this window she had opened that night to find God was one out of countless, the one closest to an answer being the one inside.

“Do you know what you are?
You are a manuscript oƒ a divine letter.
You are a mirror reflecting a noble face.
This universe is not outside of you.
Look inside yourself;
everything that you want,
you are already that.”


― Rumi
