A New Millennium

In the 20th Century we stopped believing in what we mistakenly call God

      --our Santa Clause in the sky.

We had manufactured our own image of a fabricated deity

      --then, tiring of it, discarded the essence with the fantasy.

We became the existentialists who proclaimed

      defiant strength to embrace our aloneness.

With Nietzsche we tried to shape superman

      to march out and conquer the void,

            Armed with

                  Machiavelli’s politics

                  Adam Smith’s wealth

                  Ann Rand’s selfishness

                  and Hollywood’s morals

            We set out to build a brave new world

                  ...and got lost along the way.

Is God?

The question cannot be answered!

Yet whether or not there exists a cogent being of Spirit,

The God-concept embodies all goodness and truth

      which we need to make life worth living.

When we stopped believing in God

      we turned away from

      values, purpose, meaning –

      all that we most need

      to become fully human.

In this new millennium, where is modern man to look

to avoid constructing another illusionary god?

A  bigger god, God of the Universe

Can we learn to embrace Mystery and not demand an image?

                             --I AM, Life IS--

The Wisdom literature of all peoples contain words that search the dark
     ‘In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God’.
