The idea that the world was a single limited globe turns out to be a wildly unlikely mistake. No one has ever seen it or mapped it, and you can go on from land to land following one after another without end. The exploration begins inside your own body.

The Lord was living with a great colony of bats in a cave. Two boys with BB guns found the cave and killed many of the bats outright, leaving many more to die of their injuries. The boys didn’t see the Lord. He didn’t make His presence known to them.
On the other hand, the Lord was very fond of the bats but had done nothing to save them.
He was becoming harder and harder to comprehend.
He liked to hang with the animals, everyone knew that, the whales and bears, the elephants and bighorn sheep and wolves. They were rather wishing He wasn’t so partial to their company.
Hang more in the world of men, they begged Him.
But the Lord said He was lonely there.
