My understanding....

The Creator

is what we make

the creator out to be.

The Creator is good.

The Creator is evil.

The Creator is neither in heaven

nor in hell,

nor here

nor there.

The Creator is nor you,

I,

he,

she,

nor it.

The Creator is within our parents,

our parents-parents;

and their parents;

and our ancestors;

and their ancestors.

The Creator is within our children

and their children

and the ones that will follow.

The Creator is within us all.

The Creator is everlasting.

Has no beginning.

No end.

The Creator inspires us

to keep on keeping on.

Gives us hope.

Gives us love.

The Creator also fails us.

Makes us feel

like there is no more.

Gives us challenges

and keeps us down

low as one can go.

The Creator loves us.

Hates us.

And yet through

the whole ordeal

will cherish us.

The Creator gives us life.

The Creator takes that life

here on earth away.

Gives us choices.

Gives us responsibilities.

Gives us insecurities.

Gives us issues.

The Creator labels us.

Brands us.

Breeds us.

The Creator allows us to believe.

Allows us to assume.

Allows us to judge.

Allows us to believe in superiority.

The Creator is honest.

Shows us our imperfections

and cruelties.

Opens up our minds

and spirits.

The Creator is also shallow.

Often keeping minds

and spirits closed;

causes grief to many.

The Creator is perfect.

Imperfect.

Right.

Wrong.

We call upon the Creator

for our strengths.

For our weaknesses.

For our life.

For others lives.

And the Creator listens.

May not agree.

But listens.

The Creator awards us

because we award

the Creator.

The Creator fails us

because we fail

the Creator.

We question the Creator,

therefore

the Creator questions us.

And vice versa.

But most importantly

the Creator is patient.

Because through

all of this

the Creator awaits.

And the Creator

in turn will call upon us

when we truly understand

without uncertainty.
