If God is sentient – being alive –
God can change.
Is changing now – just as you read this.
God is not an ancient immovable statue placed up on high
To be worshipped –
God continually changes right before our eyes.
Also, God is placeless and so is similar to Nature –
Alive at every level –
Even in our imagination.
God embodies a Spirit that breathes
Like the tides –
Like hummingbird hearts –
Or rain pelting down onto our faces.
God knows what we think
Before that thought ever surfaces into our consciousness.
God understands the beginning – as well as the end –
While cherishing middle lives.
For example, God immediately was aware of my grandchild, Jules –
Before I ever placed a foot on the second-floor staircase –
Before I turned on the whole-house fan –
Before I even asked my wife to be my wife – the first time.
Jules existed way back then –
Centered directly in God’s loving eyes.
Hi Peter,I love this entry, especially about Jules. We are looking forward to seeing you and Mary the week of the 13th!Warm regards,Ruth

While sitting here watching the sun rise, it brings peace to my soul and a smile to my face.
