god
Dr Justin Sledge is absolutely right.
I am a catholic. You can take the boy out of the bible belt, but you can not take the bible belt out of the boy. I think that early childhood religious indoctrination is child abuse. I call it Groundhog Day! At 11, I hated my beliefs. I changed my beliefs. I hold personal dominion; I am a choice-maker. Icarus theFlux Flyby.

god is everything
god is everywhere
What this means depends on who you are and the cultural context in which you were born, but we all know god. We all know that god is everything and that god is everywhere. That is what god means; we all know it. It is impossible not to know god. Otherwise, step out of the field.
The issue is, does that mean anything? Is there some purpose, meaning, some sign pointing in the right direction? Is anyone listening? Does it really matter?
You are a reflection of god - that's it. What you make of it is up to you. YRMV.
Your choices matter. Which side of the lake you are on matters.
Otherwise, you can not get there from here. Enlightened!

Meditation Prescription
Reflect on god's frequency, consider the chaos of the river, and meditate on the yin and yang of the wind.
Reach inward, enter your heart, feel gratitude, say, "Let there be light," and project the light of your gratitude.
Twice a day for 30 days. You'll feel better. Otherwise...

(I) imagine that (i) am becoming
Do you feel that this is true?
The reflection wavered momentarily,
resolving to focus on the question...
White Laughter
Ever after dawn was breaking
crystal thoughts were for the taking too!
To the place, it does not matter
past the trunk and tree of disaster, who?
Will tarry here, but for a while
to make the sounds, to soothe the child
Who cries when not asleep at night
who makes the sounds that make teeth bite - Who?
