Elucidating Questions

I think humans were made in an image

The image of the universe

Chaotic

Wild

Destructive

Kind

Burning bright as suns and dark as black holes

Violent

Peaceful

Capable of the most heinous wrongs and the most humbling rights

I think the humans may have taken “image” too literally

There’s no “one” god

There are too many great beings in our midst to claim there is but one

Contained within one, perhaps

Like both being within and of the one at the same time

But there are so many other great things that are not of them, the universe, as well

Things that occur because of the them that exist, but are not molecule, or matter

The wind, blowing

The tide

Rain that consists of molecules, but the phenomenon and the exact circumstances that have to align for it to happen

The feelings that come from standing in the Sun

The intangibles like seeing a shooting star

Seeing, in general

Music

Laughter

Those moments I call Happenstance that just seem to click into place

Gravity

Grief

Things that are unexplainable, like death

So many things that had to go exactly a certain way for a certain thing to happen

We exist in this same tug of war with chaos and peace.

The same image of the universe in a different form

But we have so many factors besides the universe

Factors I often call gods

Sun, Moon, Earth

Planets

Phenomena

But the whole “made in (their) image” thing makes sense

If you think of it that way.
