Musing on God
God is all without being any thing
while being the all in every thing.
God is all without being any thing
while being the all in every thing.

God is the perhaps at the edge
of every moment of choosing. God does nothing but nothing does without God. God is the freedom to do and the urge to act. God does not exist because God is existence. God is change, God is flow, God is relationship: In, with, and through. God is love: silently attracting, never compelling. God does not have power because God is power. God is the unforced force coursing through all events. God is the potential for transformation in all relationships. To be God's friend is to pay attention to the flow in all things... even those that seem to stay still. It is to savor what is behind and within all appearances, events, relations. It is to feel the allure of what could be, latent in the wonder of what is.
