God Is Like An Octopus - Updated


I believe that God is like an octopus and we are their tentacles. Each person, each living thing has been and is a chance for the Creator 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 One. Instead of simply being God, we have - so far - made an idol, called God separate and worshiped them. When all God desires is to live and to experience and to love. Each of us is a wave in the great ocean of God. 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 God, but today I feel like praying AS an expression, an extension of God in this grand universe. And all I can say is this: May I swim boldly in God's great sea of love, experiencing love in every face and with every interaction and every relationship. Amen.
