This morning as I cleared my mind to become receptive to the words, I saw a salamander in my mind’s eye. I found this very strange, and like all other thoughts that try to intrude when I’m trying to meditate, I gently pushed it away. The salamander, however, kept coming back, and then the words followed:
You see a salamander in your mind’s eye …
A slimy lizard and you wonder why.
What does a reptile have to share?
Feel his skin, if you dare.
You call him slimy to the touch.
This shows you don’t know very much.
For this is one of God’s greatest creatures.
Gifted with the greatest of features.
Do you know that if his leg you remove
God’s creative powers he will prove?
For that leg will re-grow itself.
How is that for awesome wealth?
Tiny cells they grow inside.
And every one it does divide.
To replicate its very soul.
And continue growing as a whole.
This is life in physical form.
Not chaotic, but total norm.
A testament to God’s great gift.
This knowledge all men should uplift.
Your science tries things to explain.
But many mysteries do remain.
For there is much beyond your ken.
Far beyond the book and pen.
Things you question day and night,
But see not with your limited sight.
So much goes on behind the scenes.
Run by God who has the means.
To keep all in its perfect order.
Truth will come when you cross the border.
Then you’ll see with clarity
God’s great gifts, His charity.
For now look with wonder on all you see.
It’s part of you, for He lives in thee
