Worshiping
   the quietness
       with pirouettes.

In this brief ecology
   between slide and slip,
      they dance their swan song

For me.

*****

Every dance is a swan song, and only a very few of the vast number of possibilities are set to music at all.


And I would say yes again.

A Political God

If all is God and God is good then All is Good.

Then God then was the 3rd Reich incinerating Jews.

Now God is the Jews bombing Palestinians. 

God is the United States terrorizing the world.

The dreadful syllogism of theodicy rears its ugly head in any form of pantheism.

If all is God, then either God is evil, or evil is good.
Perhaps the problem is with the major premise. Can God create a square circle, or a rock too big for Him/Her to lift? Logic defeats itself.

There is a possible answer.

Perhaps God is finite.
