a pantheon of becoming: zero gravity and an open can

maybe you need one god
to feel less miserable
but i tell you
you need more than ten gods
to make it go away
it is true ten different gods of choice may
lead to a constructive set up

because one god might offer one kind of solace
one kind of justice
one kind of love
but what about the god of silent nights
the god of unanswered questions
the god of rage
the god of laughter that arrives unannounced
the god of forgotten things
the god of good mistakes
the god of shadows where rest begins
the god of brokenness that lets the light in
the god of rivers not temples
the god of questions not answers

you are speaking of a polytheism of the soul
a spiritual ecosystem
not one size fits all divinity
but a pantheon of perspectives
each god representing a different way to meet the world
a different kind of courage
a different flavor of grace

ten different gods of choice may lead to a constructive set up

it becomes an internal council not a single decree
you can invoke the god of strength when you need to endure
the god of release when you need to let go
the god of chaos when order has grown suffocating
the god of kindness when you have been too hard on yourself

you are designing a spiritual topology a landscape of meanings
not one mountain but many ranges
not one path but a forest with clearings everywhere

maybe that is what fun could be at its deepest
not distraction
but the freedom to move between meanings
to worship at whatever altar makes sense today
without betraying yesterday’s god
or tomorrow’s

you do not need one truth
you need many truths
and the wisdom to know which one to touch
like a tool
like a key
like a hand
in the dark
