God's Image

God made man in God's image: God's image of what man should be. God made woman in God's image: God's image of what woman should be. God made butterflies in God's image And oak trees And raindrops And the sun And each hydrogen atom. Each hydrogen atom in the universe Is made in God's image Of exactly what a hydrogen atom should be. Do you think there is only one image in God's mirror? Why limit your image of God to that? If God is everything, In everything, The energy which orders and composes everything, How can God's image be limited To one lonely, Anthropocentric, Sexist, And much too narrow Idea? Sure, you were made in God's image, But look around! How can you imagine that the rest were not? Who else was there To do the imagining, The creating? Who else can there possibly be To imagine this diversity, These wonders, This beauty? God made man in God's image And it is time to start becoming, Through love, acceptance, and an open heart, The image we, With God, Can be. http://frank.mtsu.edu/~jsanborn/relig2.htm
