WALKING WITH GOD God had gone for a walk. "Let the Universe..." He thought "...take care of itself!" He just wanted to walk. Walk...like any human wood. And here was a world He could be proud of. It did Him good to see it as a human could. Grass covered his naked toes. The morning bleating with lambs. Blue sky as if He were in a living painting. Sunshine - golden. Tangible...touchable. All it was missing was a cuckoo. So, He adde it as an afterthought. Because... He - could. And God saw that it was good. Met Him halfway up a hill walking my little dog Ivor. God and his creature and his creature's creature. "Howya!" I said. "Howya!" said God. "Woof!" said the dog. "Woof!" mimicked God. In another half an hour I was due a heartattack. The dog licking my fallen face. Wouldn't be discovered for an hour or more. The dog refusing to leave the body. God foresaw all this of course. "Ahhhh this is the kind of thing that really ruins my day! God moaned. "And for which I always get the blame! God groaned. "Go back now!" the voice of God echoed inside my head. "Kiss your wife... look into her eyes!" And, so - - I did. Lived another 20 years My wife died the following year. I got knocked down by a car in the end. "So this is Heaven?" I conjectured. "Howya!" a voice I thought I recognised. "Howya!" I said.
