God Is Not

Just we, inflamed by lust
still pine with hungry hearts
for something we may never
understand, we beneath the font
of purest grace, led by hope
that God may be defined.

And what is this...not God?
And where?
There is the wondering...
The soul is the only place to look.
But then, you won't get
a definitive guide there.
Nor is it fair.

No, not fair. Not...
Is not a paradox?  Only God
may speak of God.
Yet from the sound
of crying in the night,
there may arise perceptions new,
quite alien...or not.

But not you--not I...
and...not God.

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

Struggle as we might, there are just some things unknowable to us. We conceive and perceive God as we might; but even at our best, he is we and we are not. HE is He, and only He really knows. The rest is the riddle yet unsolved.

I just love your mind!

Is not unknowing, even non-understanding, the beginning of wisdom?

[Tom]

And in the words of a once famed popular comedian on closing his TV show, ' And may your God go with you '

Yes indeed Dean there's nothing palpable in religion, only one's faith !

[Dean]

more and more to me..."not" is the source of all truth.

(and lest you misunderstand, this is not a cynical reaction)

[Tom]

I concur indeed Dean

[Kelly Scheppers]

You are a master of the written word, hands down! No one stirs the heart and soul of me, like you!

Forever your girl,
Kelly
