"What if God was one of us?
What if God was just another guy on a bus, trying to find his way home?"
A song, an 'ear worm' as they say and it started me thinking - well, it was a baking day.
What has changed in two thousand years? Is the human race more human, less violent, more tolerant of others, less judgemental?
And to where (or from) would he be travelling?
Would he do what he did then? Telling people to be kind to each other, quoting from scriptures, standing out as educated, a do-gooder. That didn't exactly end well, did it? Resulting as it did in torture and death.
Perhaps He would be one of the heroes who work with the homeless, displaced, ignored peoples of the world who reluctantly depend on the Charity of others. A health worker, shelter volunteer, a packer of food parcels. One of the silent aide workers who see the worst of humanity and try to make it better, if only for a short time.
Tired, physically, mentally, spiritually, on a bus, trying to remember the way home.
