God Is Like An Octopus

I believe that You are like an octopus and we are Your tentacles. Each person, each living thing has been and is a chance for You to experience this thing called life and to be in relationship. There are so many colours and cultures and religions, each seemingly different but really we're all the same. Instead of simply being You, we have - so far - made an idol, called You separate and worshiped You. When all You desire is to live and to experience and to love. Each of us is a wave in Your great ocean. We are never truly born and we never truly die - we just change shape. We rise and we fall. It is so tempting to pray TO You, but today I feel like praying AS You. And all I can say is this: May I swim boldly in Your great sea of love, experiencing love in every face and with every interaction and every relationship. Amen.
