Me and G-d

Monday, June 16, 2008

I am not a particularly religous person. I sin daily. I am Jewish but not a good Jew. However, I do believe in G-d. I believe I am insignificant in the universe and that I am a mere spark, an insect or even less compared to the grandeur of the universe. I was just outside in nature. I felt the dew on my skin, the wet grass on my bare feet, and the darkness all around. I could see lightning bugs, and hear strange sounds from the woods and this made me feel so alive. I looked at the darkened sky and prayed. I prayed for my family, for others families and for the world. I asked G-d for strength to do the things I hope to do. I wanted to sleep outside but instead eventually went inside. However, the feeling I was left with is that there is something powerful that exist in the universe and we can give it any name we like. For this rant I will cal it G-d and I will proclaim that I believe in G-d and that I challenge anyone to prove G-d does not exist. I will not dare to convince anyone differently for let people come to their own conclusions but I know that G-d is good. I believe that in all our cruelty and the cruelty of nature that we are good as well. We must do good. We must feel good. We must fight for good and believe in the goodness of creation. What else is there? What, where, why, when, who? The five Ws. We are the five Ws and when you are fighting for your daily scraps ask yourself: why are you here? who are you? what are you? when are you? and where are you? Ask those questions and if you cannot answer them than go ask G-d!
