| Chasing God A dream by Faust Amoyo |
||||||||
| That night I had a very strange dream. I dreamt that I was a poor villager who traveled and traveled, who passed endless realms in his quest. Finally, I reached a huge black mountain. I fell exhaustedly to earth. I slowly raised my head and looked before me. I saw him. He was wearing a black veil to hide his face. As I tried to approach him and take off his veil he took a step backwards and pointed to a chessboard on earth. I had to beat him to see his face. I sat and we started to play. He defeated me. I tried again and again and I kept on twisting my mind to solve his riddles but in every time I was beaten. I got mad. I threw the chessboard violently away and all the pieces scattered on earth. Quickly I threw myself on him, opening both hands to catch him. He melted and slipped from between my fingers then solidified again far from me, still retaining his veil. I ran after him. I chased him. I tried to bypass his divine censorship and strip him off his veil. But I failed. I lay on earth closed an eye and kept the other half opened. I knew that his love would fool his wisdom. He slowly approached and as he leaned towards me I suddenly threw myself on him again, and again I was holding air. As I chased him I asked him if he knew the impossible, if he could create an empty full glass or draw a circular square. As I did he laughed with cut voice, tired of the chase and responded with an old man�s voice �Oh, Faust! You are still so far from knowing me! I am that empty fullness! How can I draw that circular square when it is nothing but the very shape of my heart?� | ||||||||
