God

 There is God. There is no God. There are all the gods who have ever been. The God who lives in nature and the God who lives beyond the universe. The God who listens and the God who hides. The God who is a mystery and the God who is a friend. The God who judges and the God who pours out grace. The God who makes the rules and the God who redeems. The God way out there and the God deep inside us. The God of the East and the God of the West. The God with pure white skin and the God with the head of an elephant. The God who spoke the world into being and the God who ejaculated the world into being. The God who is a Goddess.

God is as difficult, as complicated and as diverse as we humans are. All the accumulated Gods still aren’t enough to make full sense of God. In the end, the only manifestation of the human understanding of God is the condition of the human world.
