The timberline is the point
on a mountain where
trees and vegetation
can no longer grow
due to the inhospitable terrain
and the lack of oxygen

The higher your climb
~ the lower the chance there is
for life to exist there is

The better the view
~ the worse the conditions
are for growth

That is how my journey
to understand
God has worked for me

The more I have sought "higher" enlightenment
the less I have ever found

The higher I have climbed
the harder it is to breathe

I have followed the trails
I have scaled the face of the mountain
I have clung by my fingers on a clifftop
I have climbed
and I have climbed

to get to the place where I believed God had set a home for me

but when I got there
~ when I reached the peak
~when I finished climbing the mountain

I found nothing but small rocks
and snow up here

what a fool I have been

I have been chasing God
up this steep mountain
for all the wrong reasons

I wanted to dangle my fat
toes off the edge of everything
and then tear into the lingering clouds like they were birthday presents filled with the answers to every question I've ever had about my existence and my place in the cosmos

I wanted to look down below
at the sprawling world underneath me and feel like I've graduated into some sort of exclusive club of self-righteous understanding

I think I wanted to climb the mountain in order to feel like I accomplished one thing in my life

I outclimbed any thunderstorm
or predator that wanted to destroy me

I climbed to a place
where nothing could touch me

I spent the last two decades
plodding my way up this peak
only to run into the timberline
of my faith

nothing is growing up here
I can't catch my breath up here
I don't feel connected to life up here

turns out that the answers aren't up here

enlightenment
is down there
in the valley
where I was

if God exists in the way
that I want God to exist
then it isn't up among the
chapel I carved out of
granite and boulders

God is down among the
rivers, dandelions, predators, cheap w**e, hate crimes, thunderstorms and sweet midnight kisses that I abandoned on my pursuit to join the angels that I thought lived among these jagged mile-high peaks

I believed that enlightenment
was about climbing a mountain
where nothing could hurt me again

it turns out that true
enlightenment I sought
exists below the timberline
in the dirt of the earth I was trying so desperately to escape

it was always down there

down there
where the paths
become overgrown
with the vines of
both good and evil

down there
where the earth
grows both rosebushes
and brambles that
cut my skin

down there
where there is a
kingdom of people
who are both
bitter and sweet

down there
where life is
both heart filling
and heartbreaking

down there
in the land mines and the
golden corn fields

I was never going to find
God above the timberline
of where anything can grow

I was never going to find
God where nothing could
cut me

in order to find enlightenment
I needed to be where I could
be hurt

in order to breathe again
I need to lay among the
cottonwoods and the
roaming wolves

what was I thinking?
it is so lonely up here
it is so cold

I have not heard a bird song in months

fine

start the coffee
scramble the eggs
get my comfy shirt out of storage

I am coming down

I will meet you under the timberline

where God exists in the mud and the wildflowers in equal measure

I cannot wait to see what comes
next

I cannot wait to dance with
you in the valley again
