Who Went Away?

When I sit in quiet meditation, nothing may seem to be happening. Just me and thoughts or an energy that wants to get up and go do something. I wait. An experience of Presence or Peace or Calm seems to come over me. I say,"Ah! God has come." But it is not God who has been away from the relationship. God is always here with me. Never leaves. I am the one who has drifted off into my plans, fears, worries, programs for happiness, self-imploded. When I sense the Divine, I should say, "Ah! Here am I Lord. I have come back from my wanderings."
