Photo by Zara Walker
For a brief moment, as she had done for thousands of years, god revealed herself to humanity, placing another star in the moonless night sky.
She is not at all what one might expect; a child bundled in an overcoat wearing golashes, but it is the expression on her face, her all-knowing eyes and her warm understanding smile that convinces some people to believe.
God knows we are a stubborn lot, as evidenced by the twinkling, diamond-bedazzled firmament, but she continues to show us how loved we are by leaving a trail of stardust to guide us home.

I do believe that god dwells somewhere outside of box we so often try to keep “him” in. ❤

True, I believe we try to picture him in our boxes, unable to accept the fact that he transcends our very comprehension.

Thank you. I am currently reading “The Shack” in anticipation of the movie release. In it, god is a beautiful chubby black woman. I love challenging the old stereotypes. We are all created in “her” image. 🙂

I’ll be curious to know your thoughts, once your done. I read it a few years back and thought it interesting, but certainly not warranting all the controversy it received before, during and after it’s publication.

Really like your story here – there is a strength but gentleness that compliments the photo so well – like the idea of stars and star dust, light etc.
