Today is God

by Pygmy (Anonymous)
(18th Century) Timeline

Primal/Tribal/Shamanic : African
18th Century

In the beginning was God,
Today is God,
Tomorrow will be God.
Who can make an image of God?
He has no body.
He is the word which comes out of your mouth
That word! It is no more,
It is past, and still it lives!
So is God.
