The rainy season has started and my god is here...
It was a quiet day when he showed up... We had all thought that he had left us, and that was a good thing. I had been down in the depths of our cavern when the wall opened up and God entered. It was a miracle that none of us wanted, the water falling from the sky was too hot for any of us to bear. I started making my way back to my home in the sky but the heat of the water made the walls too slippery for me to grasp. I struggled several times to make my way along, occasionally slipping backward as I lost my footing.
The heat was overbearing and oppressive. Every breath I took felt like my lungs were burning and each breath was more difficult than the last. And then it happened. My feet got caught up in my lifeline and I was pinned to the surface. My body was too light and I was too weak to pull myself from the grip of the water. Then a shadow fell over me.... a large warm object came so close to me that I was sure, if I had the strength to free a limb, that I could touch it. Long and tubular, it pressed againsty the surface and started to nudge me along... I was so grateful for this unknown assistance that I felt obligated to put my whole heart into freeing myslf. I worked on one leg at a time and managed to get upright.
I was soaked thoroughly, water clinging to my body all over making it difficult to walk. Each step was a fight against fatigue, struggling through a constant torrent of rushing water that pushed me further from my home. Again, I fell and became immersed in the water. Unable to move I lay there helpless, wishing for one more chance to rise up. I felt a gust of wind on my body and legs, pushing me along my journey. Then the wind turned into a gale. I felt the full force of my God on me. It lifted me up out of the water and I got my feet under me. I struggled on.
It seemed like an eternity wading through that water. A wave of water swarmed over me and I was lost. Stuck to the surface once more, unable to move my legs, I could do nothing. Then God pushed me again. I felt so alive knowing that this huge deity was intent solely upon helping me live.
With renewed vigour I pulled my up, putting a shaky leg out and then another. I walked on and it seemed that it would take forever to reach my home.
And just when I thought I had all the protection I could ever need, my God deserted me. I became trapped in the water once more, and then the rushing sound of the water slowed and then ceased entirely. The steam that had clogged my vision began to dissipate and I could see that I had reached a corner, now all I had to do was pull myself up and I would be free to walk home.
But it was not to be. I could see from the corner of my eye that He was leaving. I could see through the wall the indistict figure rubbing something on Himself and dressing himself. With my last breath, I thanked him for all his help in my time of need and I begged forgiveness for not being able to carry on without him. The water seemed so warm and comforting that I closed my eyes and smiled. I had met my God and he had helped me with my problems even though I had done nothing for Him that deserved his attentions.
I hope in my next life that I don't come back as a spider in a shower.
