God in a box

All concepts of God

are like a jar we break

because only the infinite can

contain our perfect

love

                        St Teresa of Avila

_______________________________

He seemed so sure

“God says” he muttered

“God demands” he roared

as with face twisted with anger

ah

is that hate?

he spewed his words of condemnation

and exclusion

as if the Sacred could be

bound so tightly

contained in such a very small

small

package

his idea of God seemed so big

to this angry man

Pontificating

but then even a very small piece of God

Would seem big, wouldn’t it?

all concepts of God,

yes!

even ours,

are bound to be too small

we should be careful

when trying to contain

perfect

love
