His perfect humanity
To walk the earth God becomes Godman.
This makes perfect sense -
the One, entering the realm of duality
must split Himself in two
in order to be seen and heard.
God alone is too terrible to approach
with our mortal, paltry hearts and hands
but, the Godman we can embrace,
praise His perfect humanity, His purity and virtue
and blame God (in the backs of our minds)
for the atrocities and injustices
which occur daily in this dual existence.
God lures us away from ourselves . . . toward Him
with the Love-personified,
perfectly human Godman
with Whom we may easily identify
until we surrender the last of our veils
and barriers and turn our human faces
toward the terrible Truth
of Who He really is.
O child of God, who are you?
God alone exists.
