Heart of Starkness – Eightfold Path 7: I believe in the god of doubt (zen catholicism)

OldWorldGods – divine gallery free art sample

 

 

I believe in the god of doubt –

the sound of one hand clapping,

a tree falling in a forest,

a finger pointing at the moon,

your face before you were born,

the goose in a bottle,

and three pounds of flax

(zen catholicism)

my horns won’t fit through the door!

Heart of Starkness – Eightfold Path 5: Serpent & Beast

Art by Chris Weston of God as depicted in Canon Fodder by Mark Millar for 2000 AD – one of my favorite depictions of God in popular culture with all the layers (and Dali-esque elephants) Weston added (image cropped for fair use)

 

 

 

I am the serpent of my Eden and the beast of my apocalypse –

I rise writhing from my own resurrection

(Mr Mojo Risin’)

*

I am horned god and hanged man –

hell-harrowed hero and sweet-tongued trickster,

satyr, savior, sorrower and stranger
