In the beginning
God exploded,
blasting divine matter and energy outward
to form a universe of disjointed fierceness.

Since then,
God's been gathering back together,
all parts slowly (but certainly) returning to Center–
the sun, the chair on which you sit,
the banana ripening on the counter,
and you.

What you feel
is the inexorable pull
of the Black Hole of Wholeness.

If you seek Completeness,
loosen your grip.
