Trans* God
You are the
God of Abram to Abraham
of Mara to Naomi
Saul to Paul
You call us by our Chosen Name
You are the God of Joseph of the
Rainbow, Princess, Coat of their mom
who found a family in Egypt
Jesus who found Kinship with
Mary, Martha and Lazarus
You understand the importance of
Belonging somewhere other than with blood relations
Almighty Trans* God of Abraham, you know
That sometimes you have to pack up
and leave to find your true home and acceptance
And that the journey might have lions
and dangers and toils and snares
And yet here is your promise
You will see us
You will accept us
You will call us by our chosen Name
You will always be our God
Will always be your people (if we want
not in any kind of creepy way)
Jesus, Person created without any sperm
who chose to be male
Divine Trans* entity
God, the royal They
The great NonBinary
Holy Spirit
The She who can impregnante
A Woman
God you are the Almighty
the God of Many Mounds:
Which means both many mountains
to accesss and worship you
(note the inclusiveness)
and the God of many breasts
to feed every one
(Again inclusive and accessible)
We translate that
Trans* word as Almighty
Almighty Trans* God indeed!
Almighty Trans* God
You not only
See
Accept
Affirm
and Celebrate
But especially
Protect
all of our Trans* Siblings
during this turbulent time
Almighty Trans* God
May
we forge
many mighty Trans* Elders
make their names almighty
We Pray
Amen.

"Publisher after publisher turned down A Wrinkle in Time," L'Engle wrote, "because it deals overtly with the problem of evil, and it was too difficult for children, and was it a children's or an adult's book, anyhow?" The next year it won the prestigious John Newbery Medal.
Tolkien states in the foreword to The Lord of the Rings that he disliked allegories and that the story was not one.[66] Instead he preferred what he termed "applicability", the freedom of the reader to interpret the work in the light of his or her own life and times.
