The Humming

For  such a long time, I’ve struggled and resisted the word “God”.   The term  has so much baggage that comes along with it, no matter how much I have tried to rid myself of the many associations, such as the old guy with a beard.  “God” is a person, just like us, made in our image.  What could be an alternate word for “God”.   For me, it is important because I experience and sense that there is more than our five senses casually tell us.  The word “God” trivializes that reality.

I would like to use the word “Force” but that has too much association with the movie.   “Spark” doesn’t quite catch the dynamic.   I don’t like “The Divine” for the same reasons I reject “God.”

I like “Humming.”   The Humming is in all reality, animates and enlivens all things.   The Humming is perceivable with my intuition, the Humming can be felt, seen, heard with an open heart.   The Humming is not a wave, field or particle but is maybe all three.   The “Humming” suggests music, the beautiful harmony in all things.  The Humming is beyond intelligence, not a person like us, yet we can know its presence.
