+------The Voice Of (My) God; Elijah's Thoughts At Horeb's Peak 

This is the beginning and end
of all that I am and know; The apogee
of Horeb, the highest of mountains,
the curious staring of scraggly
mountain goats, the cutting wolf-
blood-stained-fur-glares…growling
as from remorse of murdering
too many innocent souls
stranded while climbing. Me face
to face, eyes closed, with the
gales of my insecurities, tremors of
earth of past failures that haunt
my sleep. The blazing, obstinate
fire of rage at all the abuses
I’ve suffered from wicked men,
wicked hands. But then,
a gentle comforting whisper
like a cool, soft breeze: “I am
still God…don’t lose heart.”

------1 Kings 19:9b-13
And the word of the Lord came to him: “What are you doing here, Elijah?” He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.” The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
