He told me that God dwells on a silver thread, and that this thread runs through every religion, every faith, and every path. He told me to always seek that silver thread, but to look past anything that strayed from it, because such things were the inventions of man, rather than borne of the Divine. The God we seek is everywhere, although each of us describes that Divinity differently. Whether a celestial father, the essence of Great Spirit that dwells in all of creation, a resurrected progeny, or a laughing Buddha, all are one and the same. With our descriptions, we only serve to limit that greatness to the realm of our own comprehension. And that is all right, so long as we always recognize that whatever we might see, comprehend, or understand, there is always more.
