The All of Everything

Is God benevolent or malevolent? Does God love us? Is God wrathful?

These questions are fitting to ask of some man with a flowing grey beard that lives in the sky, but they are unanswerable as to God as All.

God is not only the sky above and the ground below and all that dwells in those places. God is not only everything we can touch, God is more.

God is all creation all destruction. God is life and and God is death. God is the bleeding wound and the passionate kiss. God is the roar as well as the silence.

God is all beliefs and doubts. God not just the concept of heaven and hell, but the concept that there is an above and below. God is the ideas we think as well as the air we breathe.

God is all emotions. God is all love and all hate. God is all benevolence and all malevolence. God is all wrath and all forgiveness.

God is our mathematics and our law. Our fears and our courage. Our arts, our poetries, our languages and the metaphors behind them. The truth as well as the lie.

God is energy and matter. God is the motion of the falling rock as well as the rock that falls.

God is the Happening that is the Becoming. God is what was, will be, and has been. God is even that which is not, has not been, and will never be; if what is not, has not been, and will never be is but thought.

God is the All of Everything, the Universe of Universes. This is why there can be nothing greater than God. No threat needed, no coercion. There can be none greater than All that Is, because anything else is simply part of the Everything.

The Sky

Date and Time  - Dec. 29th, 2003, 10:57 am


The Sky

brilliant sky
outside my window
waiting for me to fly
into the clouds
it seems like i should
be able to just float off the ground
but this strange thing called gravity
binds me in the waking world
i remember flying
echoes in my dreams
the freedom of the air
bound to nothing
hair trailing in the wind
i want to touch sky
again i want the sky
it's just outside my window
waiting for me to fly

Rivers of Molten Candy

Date and Time  - Sep. 29th, 2001, 09:10 am


Rivers of Molten Candy

flying high
sailing above
rivers of molten candy
fields of daisies
roads of silk
faces shift
drifting past
happy laughter
echoes distantly
quieter
dimmer
fades out
awake
once more trapped
by evils of gravity
and the monotony
of reality
