God the Gerund

God is Being
God is the unfolding of a flower
God is the nurturing of nature
Spinoza -- the naturing of nature
God is the experiencing of ecstasy

Loving is God
Living seeing understanding evolving
growing dying existing in memory
Ascending rising like bread
Swallowing a rare red wine

God is diving into the deep
Awakening from sleep's delusions
The feeling and the burning with passion
Having compassion
Finally the arriving at the Beginning



Contemplating God is our realizing
Of the ideal out of the real.
