In this book of meditations, aphorisms and poems about God, I am not sitting smugly on some high horse telling people I fall on the side of righteousness and all who disagree with me are fools or 'blasphemers'. That is arrogance of the worst kind and offensive to any God I'd call my own. I challenge myself as am a modern day Job or Jacob 'wrestling' with faith and confronted with doubts; I tackle the problematical issues of evil (where in my mind, God loses). I attack hypocrisy and spurious piety of fundamentalism that puts the letter of the God's law before the spirit; I strike out against specious reasoning on both sides proving or disproving God's existence; I celebrate the qualities of gratitude and mindfulness; I turn Epicureanism on its head. I never insist my way is right or only way and yours is wrong. I humbly say, 'This is my path to God ~ now, brother, please show me yours.'
