In a natural flowing order.

I’m not so sure that the creator is in control. Or even wants to be in control.  Creation is the creator’s grand experiment. Maybe the creator doesn’t know how everything will turn out. We are allowed to be our own creators. Endowed with free will. Independent rather than dependent. Go to it, the creator tells us.  That even he doesn’t know where we are going. Created in the creator’s own image. A scary and joyfully divine thought. All at the same time. We have the potential to live meaningful lives. It’s up to us to choose our own paths. Our own meanings. To become, for instance,  romantic idealists, spiritual free-thinkers (and not necessarily Christians), political liberals, lovers, dreamers, poets. With the help of my imagination, of course. In that sense, I am creating myself. And not leaving it to the creator. Yes, one of life’s most profound blessings. Perhaps the creator is telling us. There is no right or wrong way. Even the creator doesn’t necessarily know right from wrong. Preferring to let everything be. In a natural flowing order. --Jim Broede
