Jello in Bowl


God is like a bowl of jello.
Half a sphere which holds nothing is pointless.
Likewise jello without a mold is formless.
But when a bowl is found in the shape of what it holds,
Then what is beheld is identified exactly with its container.
No more, and no less, God is like a bowl of jello.
Jello is not carved by the bowl,
As if the bowl should labor outside itself.
Yet no bowl is shaped by mere jello.
In this way God is in direct identity with Creation
Yet not identical to Creation itself.
Pan-EN-theism:  Everything is IN God, and God is identified by everything in it.
God is the great containment of everything.
God, the Great Jello Bowl!
