I Found God
I found God. I was taking a stroll in a forest and he was just sitting there tucking into a banana. He told me he'd fallen from heaven and I didn't know how to respond to that (so I didn't). We both went quiet for a bit.
I'd been meaning to tell someone this, so I said to him "There's this great emptiness in my life. Like a hole that nothing in this material world can fill".
He thought for a moment and said "I've been reading a bit about mindfulness recently. It's about living in the present, accepting things as they are. You are not your thoughts, you know? It's really helped me to figure out my place in the universe. You could look into that?"
I said "ok, thanks". I realised later that I should have asked him for a specific jumping off point.
I started to walk away and he said "Wait! Is there anything you'd like to know? About your life? The universe? Anything?"
I shook my head. "No thanks. I'd like to keep it a surprise."
He looked a little disappointed but I think he understood. I noticed he'd dropped his banana peel on the ground. Normally I'd say something, but this is his place I guess.
