It is easy to talk about god
when god is an idea
like deciding where to take vacation
or what kind of pillow gives the best support
Even better, let us talk about god
as theory, abstract
floating fleshless like relativity
or the first particle that ever was
It is harder to talk about god
as a thing
that can be touched and tasted
stretched and broken like brittle taffy in the cold
Let us venture the impossible
Let us try to speak of God
as a person
Who is form and feeling
Who has a gender or even harder who transcends every label
Let us work to talk about a God
who talks back
