Can you see God?
This one time I...
Like really see God, and recognize him, and say hello and ask how they slept last night.
No.
Can you touch God?
I knew this person once...
I mean reach out and shake their hand and say you've always been a fan of their work, and admire their handshake.
No.
So there is no God.
But...
Can you see love?
Well...
I mean really see it. Like spot it across a busy street and wave like it's an old friend with your hat on.
No.
Can you touch love?
Uh...
Really touch it. Not like sex but can you pick it up and hold it in your hand and smile at it.
No.
So there is no love.
NO. That's not what I meant.
Well...
What do you call it, when you can't touch it and can't see it, but you know it's there? You trust it, you believe in it even when it fails you. We all know love is there. Even the worst cynics in the world think deep down there has to be someone out there. (Trust me. I know.) But we don't all think God is there.
Everyone says this, but I just realized there might be some truth to it.
What if they're both the same thing?
What if we're both the same thing?
What if we're all the same thing?
So, I realised that I never commented on this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame.
Bad me.
Anyway
I like it.
A lot.
I think it's really cool.
Loves,
Emma
Such deep thoughts for one so young Emma. And so well penned. I love your last three lines. Poetically they work. In reality I can dispense with the "What if"s. The world's great religions and theologies all point to love, acceptance, compassion and the existence of god within. I truly hope that you will find a wide audience to share these seminal thoughts of yours. You are our primary hope for the future!!
