"What if God was one of us?" a popular song* asks.

And I ask, "What if God was all of us?"

This collection, Reunion, is a playbook and a map.  It’s a book that plays with grand notions like God, eternity, mortality, life's purpose, identity, and social justice.  It’s a map that navigates beliefs and co-creates meaning.  In this collection, God is referred to as G, a symbolic label to foster a conscious shift when considering what our greater being means. 

The book is written for those who once found value in a historical religion but are no longer confident in or inspired by the messaging and/or institutional workings. 

The story begins at a landing place, a short summary of key provisions assembled after a long quest.  The book’s balance offers snapshots along the way -- diverse perspectives, essays, allegories, myths, and conjectures -- shedding light on how the findings developed.

As a working playbook, it invites tinkering and customization.  This version represents an example of how one might cocreate an updated life map.  I invite you to personalize a version of G that fits your experience.  Cocreate a story that works for you.
