Artificial selves worship artificial gods
While the search for one’s “true self”
Has to end up discovering a true God.

Accepting one’s family imprint on one’s self –
Or society’s imprint –
Or even the imprint of a small circle of artist friends –
Invariably leads into a room captioned “religion”
With an exclusive set of beliefs.

God, however, is wild –
More so even than Nature itself –
At all levels – particles through galaxies.

God obviously cannot be held in hand like a medallion –
To be sworn upon –
And there’s no pictures either.

God is invisible – lives nowhere –
And always is a surprise to us –
Like the wind
Which arises so suddenly –
Carrying oceanic flavors.

God is Love –
Waiting as long as you need.

Yes, the ultimate truth about God
Is that God is willing to wait for us!
