I never met Jesus. I wish
I had. I think we would have
hit it off. I mean, he had impor-
tant things to share. Maybe
we could have shared some
wine. I would have asked him
how he grew up, what kinds of
games he played when he
was a boy, when did he first
realize he was different
from his friends, why he
waited 30 years before he
began to share his truths
with others, that he didn’t
tell those around him how to
get rich, but how to love one
another. I would have
shared my beliefs with him,
that all creations in the
Cosmos are sacred, that
there is a hell, but that
it was life on earth, that
the Supreme Being would
never torture anyone, only
love those who had never
been loved enough, if at all,
that his power was Love,
that everyone’s power is
Love. At times we would
have laughed with each
other, and, at other times,
cried together.
