About seven years ago, a spiritual advisor asked me to write about who I thought God was/what I thought God was like, and to contextualize my writing within a martial arts framework. He asked me to write in a stream of conscience style, meaning I wasnt to think about what I was writing, or to pause, but to write until I was finished writing, then stop. Following is my response. (But first, a little context: Embusen is a Japanese term used in karate to refer to the spot where a kata [formal exercise] begins, as well as its line of movement, or performance line. Nearly all kata start and end on exactly the same embusen point. This word is also commonly romanized as enbusen. Here, I have given the name of the form as GodKata. ) The Enbusen Of GodKata God is Spirit is all is hope….fulfilled completed and complete is whole and in perfect integration of all things immense without measure and infinitely minute existing in eternal now beyond description weaver of this incomprehensible tapestry of fatties and the aesthetically dissonant and the unspeakably beautiful breathtaking manifester of all things beyond existence and manifestation transcending life as giver of life who conceived the idea the concept of life without end or beginning giving breath pure holy perfect in power source of grace unchanging compassionate embracer and lover of all souls of all that is as creator of all as all is created from His love flowing immutably sustaining and providing the plan He created all His creatures to walk upon dancing joyous with purpose and a will that is good knowing all things knower and source of all knowledge itself revelatory ally to friend and foe alike wanting intimacy that is deeper than the deepest deep lavishing to all life who believes in me lives in and through me and always has and always will even after my life leaves my body and I see Him face to face and we continue to walk together in the cool of the day the garden restored and the faith becomes sight living in me He is my faith living in me and believing in me His chosen vessel happily and with joy beyond bliss with flow to all that is having determined in advance what it is that He would have me do His will having thought of me even before He created the planet upon which I would dwell placing me in my family of origin with love and infinite wisdom so far beyond my ability to even begin to grasp in human consciousness setting prayers in my heart and knowing in love that now at last I listen He sets lives in my path and prepares in advance for me to encounter to bless and be blessed by His pristine wonder and awesome glory unfolding promises perfecting character redeeming the wanderer the disconnected the lost and dying dregs so longingly He loves and desires us we are His and He is ours perfect discerner of all thoughts and intentions regardless of man’s selfishness greed self-seeking joyless haunted journey of disbelief and faithlessness coarsely disregarding His fastidious care so comprehensive so thorough leaving nothing embracing all He is love speaking willing creating continuous without limit ceaseless everywhere sublime holy eternal love joyous believer quiet shouter through all that is embedded in the deepest deep than can only be because of the impossible impossibly beautiful glorious lover my God
