What's it like being a god and tumbling back into humanity? Whats it like being a god and all your connections dimming? I couldn't feel my body I couldn't feel my skin what's it like being a god? it's without identity without fears without certainty it's no words no need to speak what's it like being a god and meeting yourself for the first time and liking yourself for the first time loving yourself loving no one needing no one and nothing beautiful creatures in the sunset beautiful waves of the ocean sky lotuses floating in the wind in the trees serene smiling faces in the city skyline the city of clouds offers nothing we ask nothing but to see we ask nothing nothing at all but to look and absorb the overwhelming emotion and color and beauty and peace waves, rippling waves the tablecloth sky gentling coming towards me look what I made for you, you all what's it like? Being a god? It's exhausting it's exuberant it's joyful it's sorrowful to be a god void of humanity void of fear and insecurity I couldn't feel my face I couldn't feel my fingers all I could feel was joy pure emotion, untainted by thought pure emotion pours down my face in laughter and tears a joyful, childish celebration to see such beauty to be so free what's it like to be a god and a human again? No longer do I fear, no longer do I want no longer any self-deception as far as my human eyes can tell
