Analysis of In Spite Of Ourselves
What if God is the
Universe
Not something separate
and distinct
But the Universe
itself
Eliminating the dual
notions
Of Creation and
Intelligent Design
Insuring our divinity
as part of the whole
Insuring our divinity
—in spite of ourselves
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)
