             NOW

      with the passing
     of all former gods
     There remains only

            THIS

            which

             IS

Which is prior to the former.

            THIS

     which is prior to the
      "Me" and the "That"

       Prior to all the
            "MEs"
           and the
       "other than MEs"
        seen in forms
         innumerable
        to ego and id

        Prior to when
            THIS
         looked upon
           the "Me"
         and the "Me"
         looked back
       and called "That"
             GOD

        Prior to when
     the innumerable "MEs"
       began seperating
       and organizing...
     Drawing distinctions
           between
            THIS
            and
           "that"

       Deeming some as
         "ordinary"
       and others as
      "extraordinary."
       One "thing" as
         "correct"
         another as
          "error".

            THIS

        which is prior
        to the pouting
  Before the infantile tantrums
  that they would never outgrow
    became so deeply rooted.

    Accepting and rejecting.

            THIS

which makes allowance for it all.
  Even the concept of chaos.
Because there are no mistakes.

           THIS

      which allows it

           ALL

   because there is only

           THIS

         NOW with
          "Good"
           and
          "Evil"
    having been removed
     from the equation
     that never would
      have added up...
No longer feeding upon the
          bitter fruit.

     "Right" and "Wrong"
     sit upon the table
           like
      salt and pepper.

        Condiments

That add flavor to "LIFE"

           NOW

      Having existed
      to the point of
      Non-existence...

           "I"

   am  NOW free to LIVE

     and enjoy ALL of

          THIS

And believe me when I say...

          I DO
      enjoy myself
