.
When God had made The Man, he made him out of stuff that sung all the time and glittered all over.
Some angels got jealous and chopped him into millions of pieces, but still he glittered and hummed.
So they beat him down to nothing but sparks but each little spark had a shine and a song.
So they covered each one over with mud.
And the lonesomeness in the sparks make them hunt for one another.
—Zora Neale Hurston, born 1891
Their Eyes Were Watching God
.
Time, nature, necessity, accident,
Elements, energy, intelligence —
are but dreams of the conscious Self, the Love
dwelling in the one heart.
The world is a wheel of consciousness
turning within the one heart,
merging and emerging in
the river of Love.
The self is present in the one heart
in the one love
as butter is in cream
conscious
—Lessons from The Shvetashvatara Upanishad
Eknath Easwaran version
.when god decided to invent
everything he took one
breath bigger than a circustent
and everything began
when man determined to destroy
himself he picked the was
of shall and finding only why
smashed it into because
—e.e. cummings
