A personal myth: Which is to say,
The older I get, I sort of think the following:
Not that I believe any of this is literally true, of course.
It is such a metaphor!
But, seriously, I do live deeply into it:
That God\/Universe is Awakening
In a billion galaxies
And at every conceivable level
And I get to help (yaaaay!)
However minute the help may be.
Metaphorically, I’m a cell on a ridge
Of the finger-prints on the tip
on the finger on the hand
of the limb of dancing Shiva Nataraja
(keyboarding on the computer these words
and many papers and blog);
And also (since He’s multi-dimensional)
A cell on his toe-tip of His dancing foot
And also (changing god-gender)
A groping neuron in Her embryonic brain,
A figurative awakening into more and more
Consciousness of every type
Taking billions of years.
And also all the other roles in my life,
Loving husband, father, pal, dance partner,
Singer, etc.—each role yet another facet
for interacting with others
who are also helping God be born.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
