This week I am doing something different.  I played & created the poem above & the roles below. As above, so below. Or so it seems.

How about playing the devil’s advocate, the naïve skeptic & ironic fool first…

1. How do you know something greater than you exists?

Why do you want to know?
How can smth be greater?
And how would I know?

2. How do other people relate to this something?

Why are you asking me?
Why should they relate?
Who cares how?

3. How can we affect changes in our lives?

Why should we change them?
Why even bother?
Why we?

4. How do you talk with this something greater?

Why would I do that?
Talk with it?
Me?

5. What have you been asked to do by this something greater?

Have you been asked?
Have I been asked?
What did I do?

And how about another perspective… Abstract, uncommon, interesting,…
