Gardening

God came by to help me plant my garden.

I asked God, “Should I feel badly about taking such care to plant and water the seeds, only to eat and kill what eventually would grow?”

God’s mouth opened and I saw all events happening at once in Eternity. Everything that was created was simultaneously destroyed. My hair turned white in awe and terror.

God’s mouth closed.

I said to God, “You could have just said no.”
