Not God

God's in you not like a blueberry 
in a muffin but like the ocean 
in a wave. God's not in the universe; 
the universe is in god. If god's 
your co-pilot, you're in the wrong seat.
Don't go to god with a list of things 
to fix, his marching orders. Report for duty
ready to hear him give your orders for today.
You can't keep the hair on your head from
falling out; he can hold worlds and stay
their course. If you don't like the god you met
in church or synagogue or at the mosque,
toss him out. God's out there, everywhere, 
anywhere, not in the air but the air itself. Toss 
out your inadequate god and meet the real thing
but most of all understand that you're not god.
