True Dat

In my experience, God is always there,
truly always been there,
already there- long before I even knew anything of Christianity.

But then, when I met my own missionaries,
everything clicked,
all made sense-
yeah, alright.

God is not a theory!
Let me say it louder- to talk to myself:
God is not just a theory.

God is that entity that
pushes me, that's pushing me
even now,
into poignant perhaps preposterous
but precious places.

In my experience,
God is true.
And I adore how that sounds.
The true gracefully
chooses to gaze upon us,
the true allows us to choose
for ourselves--
You can't debate the true-
It's like saying:
"Honey, I got no need to breathe."
Yeah, you can say it,
but everyone knows you're lyin',

In my experience,
God is kind,
immensely, compassionately kind.
And when placed into the equation,
You don't have to say: How did I manage to screw this all up--
because you are no longer responsible to carry all of life's burdens.

In my experience, God encourages us beyong
messiah complexes
into a non-violent martyrdom
that is true freedom, that says like Joseph Campbell:
"Follow your bliss" but with a twist:
"Follow the true bliss"... your true bliss...
You can. It makes me smile. You won't be snatched away..."
Keep it true!
