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. God is a great example of a concept likely incapable of being understood. In fact, if someone says they know what God is, they are likely confusing what it is to actually know something. 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.

A lot has happened in the last 12 months and it all started with a trekking tour of the Grand Canyon in March of last year made possible by our friend Sarah (Thank you Sarah!). The trip spurred on our adventurous spirits and dreams of a life lived a little differently. The vast scale and awe-inspiring presence of the canyon practically forced our decision to take a leap of faith toward filling our days with such beauty and experience.
