I Feel: but God Sees

God’s perspective: The beginning of HEALED round 2. Two things come to mind. First, I think of my vision where God ate my stone heart and filled me with Spirit…

If We Could Draw God’s Blood

Science validates itself by existence, existing. In this way, a fact is a fact is truth, again and again, for always, into infinity. So, how can we talk about God against a self-contained truth, which validates itself because it is, already?

Two Things

Two things which are my brain’s “proof” of God, in the way where I seem to stumble into his face: The first is this concept; my imaginary friend can’t have superpowers. The second is love.

Creativity Back-up
