Creation Game

We create everything. We are of the Creator and we are the Creator. Once we were One. Once we were only One and we were harmonious and unified, but we were new. We were fresh and soft and shapeless and unformed. Unforged. Unproven. Breakable. So we created a giant hammer, a big bang, and we broke us apart and shattered our unity. Then we were separate squiggling, wiggling pieces, trying to survive on our own. Blindly squirming through the void, searching for Love, for huge arms to hug us, for breast to feed us, for home. Those separated chicken heart cells beating erratically, yearning to beat as One, as One, when we get close enough to each other. Oh! the search is hard! Oh! the wounds we incur on our journey home. The darkness appears to be interminable; the light, gone.

After all, we LOVE to play games, and we just HAD to give ourselves the ultimate test: could we survive on our own, struggling and learning through pain and joy, building ourselves over time and space? And THEN, once we were supple and strong, could we find our way back to each other? To ALL of each other? For THAT is the endgame. The trick ending. This game is not just about survival and managing to find a little joy and communion here and there amidst the struggle. Can we reunite, a different, stronger, and more beautiful whole? A multi-hued crazy quilt-rug fabricated from that which was once a uniform cloth torn asunder? Can we weave a rug of many colors, sounds, shapes, tones, dimensions? Can we leave the struggle behind, now that we’ve gotten so used to it? If we do find each other, can we come together in divine unity without destroying ourselves in the process? If we succeed, ah, that wondrous crazy quilt-rug, that will be a sight! Pure bliss once we are whole. We will feel what it is like to BE with EVERYTHING all at ONCE. And this is an EVERYTHING that has been tested and is tried and is true. And then, after this is all done, maybe we will create a new game to play…
