I AM

In case you were wondering just how big my ego has gotten these days, this poem is not about me. It describes God through ideas put forth in the Bible. As a child raised in a Christian family I was exposed to many concepts that in retrospect I didn’t understand, and some of which, in all honesty, I still don’t.

Within our limited frame of reference it is quite nearly impossible to fathom a subject that is at once omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, irreproachable, and eternal. Just take the latter and attempt to grasp its implications beyond a figure eight. – Eternal is not before and after time, it is outside of time. It is timeless; nonlinear, which implies a frame of reference within everything has already happened, all things are happening at once, or there are innumerable and known quantum potentials unfolding concurrently, etc.
