Gods can be jealous.
Our prismatic god has amassed an army of devotees blind to the calls of other gods. We may think we’re living well in restricting our love to one.
The One has placed a strong demand on us. But we can become aware of what swarms around the margins, the outskirts.
To pay tribute only to one’s prismatic god is to disregard the clamour, to disregard the holes. Usually, you don’t gain a god’s favour by disregarding other gods. For gods don’t only war, they also cooperate.
The gods—these gods, these emergent gods—have no interest in being the One, in eradicating all others.
