proximoceptionDad appears and Dad is light
To those who live in endless night
But does a human form display
To those who dwell in realms of day
Just a variation on Freud's take, where we need to think of our parents' protection, that nest, extended out into the sad and frightening world. The nestmaker knows it's all just yarn and twigs and crap. But maybe some magic help, maybe that magic we felt before still existent in something our parents did or were or sang...
Religion made god, after all, not god religion. If God arrived to challenge our traditions we'd see a curious split, but not till then - just like the libertarians and fundamentalists will keep theirs papered over as long as one Democrat breathes. Magic in a person? Maybe. A place? Probably. A way to be? Certainly. Some way, among those possible, is the certain best. The shape of us doing that best is Blake's human form.
