I recently started a new Medium publication to have a creative writing outlet while I work on other projects. Letters from a Traveling Friend shares semi-fictional letters with topics blending travel, philosophy, mindfulness and wisdom. It’s completely free to read, open to readers who aren’t Medium members.

I would surmise that a conscious being capable of creating the living world would possess an intellect far greater than our own. If someone that omnipotent spoke, would we really be able to clearly understand?
The analogy I like to use is the ant on the computer (Mac or PC, for once it doesn’t matter). The ant knows that it’s on the computer – it can feel the hard surface and warmth from the glow. It knows the computer exists, and the existence of the computer directly affects the life of the ant, if only in that the ant has to crawl over it.
The ant, however, can never conceive the full potential of the computer. While it may see the light, it doesn’t comprehend text, spreadsheet cells, wacky fonts or viral videos. The reality of the computer and the ant are both intertwined but with wholly separate purpose.
So when people talk about the “word of God,” I find it a little ridiculous. How can you understand something that big when you’re just an ant on a computer?
But then I guess if something created Heaven and the earth, it could learn to speak human too…
