When She became aware of herself
did She feel like a child
learning She was adopted
with no information
about Her birth?
She was not technically an orphan
She had no parents to lose
In the beginning, there was no
beginning.
There was only a middle.
God was a lonely child
in an empty room.
Even the room She had
to invent from Herself
and imagine it wasn't Her.
Had to pretend there were
walls in the room, then had
to pretend the walls weren't
there,
or daydream
a door, so the others She imagined
could walk through a land
She imagined
as She imagined a place
they had to go.
And imagine they weren't Her.
In absence of stimuli
our mind creates
it's own
Dreams and nightmares we think are separate from us.
She imagines
us in her own image.
Makes up rules in the elaborate games
She creates.
God sometimes
paints Herself into corners. Invents puzzles She cannot solve.
Sometimes She imagines loved ones
right out of the daydream, pretending She
has no choice, and mourns their loss.
But God doesn't cheat, She never cheats, She doesn't
break the rules of the game, and the miracles She imagines
aren't cheating. They are surprise happy endings.
Writers sometimes kill their favorite characters
because that is the way the story unfolds.
We imagine the
characters have freewill
and the story's momentum
determines their fate.
She makes us in her own image.
God imagines us creating
God imagines us imagining
Her daydream
in a way we'd rather it be.
to learn who we are through
the stories we create.
Imagines us imagining our character's
tomorrows, and imagines us pretending
we don't control their destiny.
God allows us to pretend we are Her
and NOT Her.
Why does God imagine
She is not us?
Can we, the characters in
her daydream know something
She doesn't?
Does God dream us
to know something She
can't know?
What it is like to come from somewhere.
and what it is like to end.
Comments please. I am prone to random line breaks, so feel free if you think some (or all) are jarring or obtrusive.
