Here is someone special who needs you . . .
Last night I had a conversation with "HIM". I asked HIM, "Do YOU really exist?"
and HE answered, "Yes, Steve, I really do exist".
I followed with, "And did YOU really create the Universe in which I live?"
and HE replied, "Yes, I did".
"Why?" I asked, "What's the point of it all?"
and HE said, "Think of only ME existing and nothing else, what would be the point of MY existing? . . .
I looked at HIM and said with incredulity, "You mean that YOU need me as much as I need YOU?"
HE smiled softly, and I could see the answer in HIS eyes . . .
And as HE faded away I thought I heard HIM say, "Maybe more."
And then I woke up.
