(Czech Republic—December 25, 2011)

You ask what I think about God.  What do I know?

You tell me what you think about God.  What do you know?

We talk about God as if discussing the weather.  And what do we know?

Nothing. Only hearsay.

So let us talk about what we know:

       One plus one equals two.

       Self-discipline is difficult to maintain.

       Harnessing our destructive impulses is a struggle.
      
       Any act of creation generates meaning.

       And if the power of love to heal has a limit, we have not found it.
