Expansion

Our journeys take us different places. We all expand... differently.

I remember

In college,

Sitting in the coffee shop

With a Christian fundamentalist friend.

I drew pictures

On a napkin

Of how I believe

God works:

God in the middle

Of everything,

With so many lines

To approach Him

Or Her.

He grew more and more

Agitated

One Way

He said.

Then he repeated

One Way.

My friend

Had dabbled in the occult,

Had become a Mormon

For awhile.

He found a home

In college,

A Quaker college

(at that).

One Way

He repeated

One Way.

We finished our coffee.

He became

Roman Catholic.

I went to seminary.
