Another phenomenal essay Julia. Very well written. I enjoy reading what you write. You are an explorer. Your writings also take me down memory lane to decades ago when eye had similar experiences / realizations.

"Something else, more real than us, and beyond our imagining. And this idea returns me to excruciating and ponderable question of my otherwise certainty soaked childhood: if god made the universe, who made god? Likewise, one might reasonably ask, who or what was the architect of the blueprint?"

Brian Greene

Climbing the mountain,

trying to find the rainbow.

Climbing the rainbow,

trying to find the painter.

When I find the painter,

I'll jump into her picture.

Then I'll wonder who the man is,

who mixes all the colors.

Who made this hue,

Who made this me?

1981
