A subject for a great poet would be God’s boredom after the seventh day of creation.

It’s a mystery. That’s the first thing that interests me about the idea of God. If there is one, it’s mysterious and powerful and awesome to even consider the concept, and you have to take it seriously.

The major religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, they deny somehow that God has a feminine face. However, if you go to the holy texts, you see there is this feminine presence.

There is no chance and anarchy in the universe. All is system and gradation. Every god is there sitting in his sphere.
