God

This simple word can evoke so many responses.

For some it brings comfort, for others it triggers deeply held trauma. Neither speaks directly to the word itself as much as it does to the ideas associated with it. The word is a symbol for an idea so we can hold discourse through language.

God is the SUN that synthesizes the human souls chlorophyll, that we may grow. We hunger for It.

The idea has been abused. Love has been abused in the name of God. That does not mean God is not love. It means, rather, that God's marketing campaign has gone off track.

I don't care what you call it. The God we must return to is the one who loves, who offers a perfect attachment to our imperfect relationships so that we are never alone when humans fail us. The God we must write into our lives is one who loves and makes a way for all who seek, it is one who does no harm.

God is bigger than the words we've created to describe God. God is bigger than all that we have created to explore It. God is and was and will be, therefore God is bigger than space, and time and language and religion and right and wrong and fear and tragedy. God is. Available to each of us who seek.
