An email message titled
“If you were God what universe
would you create?”
arrived in my inbox today
The question made me smile
I am a god and I do
create my universe
Everyone is a god in my opinion
creating a unique universe
How could it be otherwise?
Each have unique backgrounds
Each have unique sets of abilities, thus
Each perceive the universe from a
unique point of view
Sure, outside forces exist but
how we react to events, to
actions of others and
ourselves, to what we choose to notice
is the universe we create
I am creating a universe this morning
filled with patches of melting snow,
shadow echoes slicing through the yard
contented cat’s purrs comforting me and
an email from a kind friend
reminding me to focus on the
wonder of my unique universe
created by my unique perspective
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. – William Blake
Wind Rush 
A beautiful (and believable) perspective – thank you for sharing (reinforcing)!

Thanks, Jazz. Right after I posted the poem, I happened to read an article from Tricycle magazine called Examining Attention and it said about the same thing. Funny how things happen like that. 🙂 https://tricycle.org/magazine/examining-attention/?utm_source=Tricycle&utm_campaign=154b8ecc38-Daily_Dharma_2020_03_06_Subs&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_1641abe55e-154b8ecc38-307830229

This reminds me of Shirley McLean’s “Out on a Limb” (I think it was) – the realization of the role we play in the creation of our own reality.

I was not familiar with that book. Time to visit the library.

Well, it’s an old one – might not even be in print now, lol. Showing my age.

Awesome poem, LuAnne and such a lovely picture too. This is God’s Universe and He is playing His role in each and every human being. There is no one but God who is Love.

You could have given me no greater compliment but to say the poem made you think. Thank you. I was concerned that this content would be a little radical for some, but it is an honest philosophy that I hold. I appreciate your visit and comment.
