GOD
An insatiable Lover.
Power only humans can
emulate.
A Fountain Pen with
unlimited ink.
An endless ocean of
Love waiting patiently.
An intimate,
omniscient friend many converse with.
The pure Illuminating
Nugget glowing within each of us.
Anthropomorphic
depictions which attempt to define the indefinable.
The ultimate goal in
mankind’s singular quest: Love basking eternally in Love.
The optimistic ‘Prime
Mover’ Who knows perfection can emerge from chaos.
Absurd notions of
power and grandeur generated by fear and perpetuated by hopeful
solidarity.
- Perhaps an
eternal Wholeness offering ineffable love to an
infinitesimal speck.
- Perhaps when we
laugh we are enjoying the Creator’s benevolent view of our
own antics.
- Perhaps a Maestro
directing endless re-creations for the purpose of ultimate
harmony predicated on love.
- Perhaps only a
myth we supplicate or enjoin to alleviate abject fear of
threats … the unknown and death.
- Perhaps we slowly
progress ‘listening’ to a metaphysical aerobics Instructor
who teaches in metaphors.
- Perhaps an
Ethereal Energy inexorably creates substance which becomes
finite and provides for our embellishments.
- Perhaps the
Oneness of a Supreme Being was embraced for its expediency
in understanding attributes and placating.
- Perhaps aspiring
shamans acquire ‘credibility’ by conjuring supernatural
entities they alone can describe and communicate with.
- Perhaps there is
a PRIME MOVER who planted seeds of the supernatural in Homo
sapiens who cultivate their own growth by loving … if they
choose to.
