The man who wanted to see God

The man whispered, "God, talk to me!" Both the forests and the meadows sang. But the man did not hear them.

The man exclaimed, "God, tell me something!" And thunder shook the sky. But the man did not hear it.

The man looked around and said, "God, let me see you!" And a star shone brightly in the sky. But the man did not notice it.

The man insisted, "God, show me a miracle!" And a newborn baby cried. But the man did not understand.

The man cried out desperately, "God, touch me! Show me that you are here!” And God approached the man and gently touched him.

But the man waved and chased the butterfly away.
