Mum, is God up in the sky?

My friend Celia Caughey has written a delightful little book for children and their adults introducing them to the wisdom of the great spiritual disciplines - particularly Christian and Buddhist. The book is called "There's Lots of Love" and will be published in the next month or so. Details of it will be on the St Matthew's webite www.stmatthews.org.nz Here's a little poem of Celia's that I enjoyed this morning:

Mum, is God up in the sky?
Do you think that he can fly?
Does he have a long white beard?
Is he someone to be feared?


The mystery some call God
May be found inside your head
Don’t go searching far and wide
Search your own heart instead.


Think of electricity
That makes the dark turn bright
So energy flows through you
Tune in and see the light.
