Hubris?

I see Science is at its work again. Thinking to create a miniature Sun. As if any of you has the ability to release such power without catastrophe.

To harness the energy your scientists seek needs skills that took me longer to master than any of you would ever have in a thousand of your puny lifetimes.

Those you call the ancient greeks well knew the danger of such arrogance.


Take care lest there be no tomorrow.

The People at Prayer

The prayers that reach me are of many kinds - some asking for help; some seeking guidance; some asking my blessing before committing acts I cannot condone; some seeking forgiveness after the fact.

The prayers that please me most are those that come borne on the wind, set free from the joyful flags and the spinning wheels cared for by the nearby faithful.

Those prayers seek nothing for the ones who pray, but send thanks from the full hearts of those who feel my presence.

Take care until tomorrow.

Haves and Have Nots

It concerns me to see the world so out of balance. In the Beginning there were differences, with some parts hotter or colder, wetter or drier, but as people moved outwards from the first place there was always to have been a comfortable life, with sufficient to meet need.

Now I look and see places where drought prevents crops from growing; places where floods bring regular death and disease; places where some are made by force to exist where there is not sufficient.

Where are the leaders who can guide those who have nothing to the places of plenty? Are they blinded by their own plenty so that they see not the troubles of those others?

Take care until tomorrow.

Make Love not War.

Sometimes it surprises me to see the way things have worked out since I set them up in the Beginning. Take the system for reproduction. To make sure the world was kept going, this was set up to have a fun side too.

In the Beginning: bats, mice, goats, people - same idea for all.

These days: bats, mice, goats - all just going along nicely, doing whatever comes naturally. But people - what a muddle. A mass of rules supposedly based on my wishes, and no-one stopping to think that if something is natural to two people, it must be based on my wishes and I'm easy with it.

As I've said before, the source of my displeasure continues to be watching you kill one another in my name, and I sure wish your leaders would concentrate more of their energies on putting a stop to that before I decide to start over.

Take care until tomorrow.

Waterworld

It surprises me often that this world of so much water is dominated by the dryland people.

I used not to think it would be so, and lavished as much care in the Beginning on the waterlife.

Their prayers come to me still, rich with fears of the drylanders, and sometimes I see the dark hearts of those drylanders who think the true path is through killing - and in my sadness I seek to know if I granted such landlife their freedom too easily. Mayhap they should be still on tighter rein for the good of all.

Take care until tomorrow.

Days of Wine & Roses?

It seems I've been absent more days than I intended - watching an Ending far beyond this world. Have no fear for yourselves, your Ending here is not written yet, and will not be with you for many ages.

For now I watch the forms of your happiness - gladdened to see the positive, creative happiness that brings joy and light to the world.

But for some, happiness comes from destruction. Such dark acts bring danger to all who are near and I warn you to take care. Your Ending is not yet written, but it will be.

Take care until tomorrow.

The Message Renewed

We have many names and many voices, and today this voice is posting.

Those who call my name in prayer are of great number, and I hear you all.

I see that some believe in the way of peace, while others of you believe there must be war against all transgressors. My message to you was surely not that you must hate and fear those who speak against you, but that you show the true way by your prayers and deeds in faith.

How can you think it my wish for you, my people, to kill the stranger in his own land? Such deeds will surely not bring the stranger to the true faith, but will stir up his wrath against you and set his back firmly against the true faith.

I ask you to consider this until tomorrow.

The Word

Back in the Beginning people saw me in the natural events around them, and told stories to remind them of what they saw. This was simple and good and it pleased me.

When I looked again, the simple tales had changed. Now each place has its own stories and they have been put into writing. Each place says My stories are the true word of god - yours are false.

I would have it known that the Word is best unwritten, for so it can live and grow among all people. The written Word being fixed, as people live and grow the truth of the fixed Word becomes unreal to them. It does not seem that this is good.

Take care until tomorrow.

Not in My Name?

It brings pain to see the world full of killing when so many claim their slayings in my name. Have your leaders forgot that this god is god to all? That all prayers come to this place no matter the name you give to your god? There can be no victory in brother slaying sister; in sister taking arms against brother. And likewise nothing but sorrow when any try to keep a part of me for themselves alone, thinking to deny others such a benefit.

Take care until tomorrow.

Yesterday and Today

How I cherish memories of the days of the Beginning, when there was plenty for all and to spare, and folk went happy to sleep at night if they'd enough bread to fill their bellies and a pair of youngsters to follow after them.

I rue the span I turned my eyes elsewhere, came back to find Science in control - the self-correcting system corrupted beyond healing. What will be next I almost fear to see.

Offer me hope if you can.

and take care until tomorrow.

Welcome!

A note of welcome to all. In this place I will offer my thoughts and listen to your comments, and you can share your concerns.

My hope is to be here daily.

Take care until tomorrow.
