I Am....
Why so much debate about the existence of God?
Does it really matter?
To some, I suppose, and that's okay.
But to me, what matters is:
Love.
The web of consciousness (we are all in this together!)
Energy transforms (something new at birth and death!)
There are so many definitions of God/god(s)/goddess/force ("May the Force be with you!")/Source/Universe/All That Is/the Divine, etc. etc.
Atheist? Agnostic? True believer? Spiritual explorer?
It doesn't matter to me.
But I am fascinated by consciousness.
Who am I?
I am....

Hi, Hélène. I’d love to share a little perspective with you.
I was drawn to the opening lines of your poem: "Why so much debate about the existence of God? Does it really matter?"
Personally, I believe it does matter, because knowing where I come from and where I'm going helps shape the way I live my life. It gives me a sense of direction, meaning, and purpose.
I agree with you that love matters.
But for me, knowing God is actually what inspires me to love.
Because He calls me to be the best version of myself not for praise, but so I can share goodness with others.
Without knowing Him, I might not have a reason to share love at all.
Especially in a world so weighed down by pressure, I might just focus on surviving, without ever thinking about anyone else.
By the way, thank you, Hélène, for writing that poem.
It sparked a beautiful reflection and for that, I’m truly grateful.
