This has nothing to do with the Absolute -
this idea of God.
In childhood, God was the loving
Father in the sky -
Outsized, sporting a flowing white beard, and
ever attentive to my prayers.
Now, God is an abstract notion -
transcendent and immanent,
Infinite, eternal, and
difficult to embrace.
But all of this has nothing to do
with God -
All these continually mutating
mental constructs.
