A MONK WITH NO GOD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Line of inquiry: “a homogeneous mass of consciousness, God as the all there is, mind cannot name, being both immanent and transcendent, living light intimate in heart aflame.” not a god of names, but the hum holding the cosmos together the petrichor scent after rain the miracle of conception and birth the hummingbird’s beating heart the quiet between my thoughts, as close as my own heart the vastness between planets it does not answer prayer it is the prayer a homogenous mass? only to the mind that tries to comprehend it.
