We are all we have--
we are all we need!
But.
It takes realization,
awareness-attention
to make it so.

There is no father-god out there.
The God we seek is in here:
In our body,
mind,
intuition,
virtues (The things we do best
and enjoy doing most),
original nature.

We laugh "and say "No way!"

YES WAY!!!

All it takes is waking up
to know that it is so.

We all know that it is so,
and are afraid that it is so.
Afraid because that leaves it
all up to us.

We do not want the burden--
the responsibility--
of being holy, sacred divine!

Who would?

So here we sit.
Waiting to be rescued
by a squad of UFO's.

If that isn't sad,
I don't know sad.

We all have the power of God
and don't use it 
because we are afraid.
And want to believe in a God
who gives us things
and takes care of us
so we pray to the hills
from which comes our help,
and refuse to help ourselves.

Of all the things in the cosmos,
we are the most to be pitied. 

"They were of God--
and refused to help themselves
or each other!"

The epitaph of the ages.
