Mark and Eric talk about a philosophy of God that might work for you if simple answers do not. How does human religions actually work in real time? Is God something we can actually name and put in a box? Or it is a moving target of an ideal that humans cast out before themselves to deal with the difficulty of reality?

We hope you love it!

Here is a link to all our socials and our digital press... we have been quietly busy. Boom boom.

Heart,
Mark and Eric

___________________________________

YOU ARE ONLY A WATCHER.

Have the humility and awareness

to open your eyes to the unseen

and you will find the face of God.

I don’t mean spirits or daemons

or old gods disguised as just another object.

No. You are invited to the thing behind all things—

big bang’s banger,

electric in lightning,

fortitude in blood cell—

the only wisdom frightening

enough to hold light and dark matter

in one weird-science jar and say, “Oh well.”

Let’s just see what you have to say

to the morning sun that brings in day.

You can predict it will arrive and leave

but that should never give you any reprieve

from the fact that you are only

an ancient-future Watcher

of the only One truly lonely

when it comes to pulling on unseen string theories;

making it all go. And so no, your existentialism

does not impress me and it draws the furies.
