(dedicated to Andreas Herrmann)

Some day you will see this whole thing as a dream
and then as a dream that never was --
a universal dreamingness.
So are you the dreamer or the dream?

Dreams are sophisticated bio-feedback:
spirit-thought transmissions riding in on
electrochemical symphonies of the dreaming universe.

But what if you were integral to the Infinite?
would you need to work so hard to be that body? --
that particular, limited, separate self.

Can you go beyond the dream?
What's wrong with experiencing the unlimited?
Dreaming the unlimited dream.


First, I saw God everywhere --
and gradually God disappeared into nothing --
then I found God inside myself --
and then he slipped away again --
back into the world,
but never all the way back.

I still find God
in the nonsense whispers of the handicapped child
with his broken toy guitar in the lines back from Mexico,
and the high-pitched buzzing near the bank teller machine,
and the dusty manure pile and the rake,
the burnt toast, and even the snake,
a God of the little things, a god in-between --
returned to everything.

God beyond me, beyond my world, beyond the dream, beyond any THING.

So are you God
or just the dream of God?
Are YOU either way?
What if you could never stop existing?
What if you never started existing?
What if you woke up with nothing?
Would you call this a dream?

A memory is just a thing --
A dream of this being.
