God in Drag

Seed: God in Drag I love this quote from Sufi poet Hafiz . . . Sweetheart, O sweetheart, you are God in Drag! Does that seem irreverent to you? Think about the idea quite literally. God doesn’t only look like Madonna or Susan Corso or George Clooney or Philip Seymour Hoffman. God looks exactly like you! Exactly. This is why I say that She is like a drag artiste. Drag performers take their performance selves very seriously. A look, a wig, a walk, a line. They’re careful and conscious about what they put together for their audiences. There’s a new DVD out as I write this in January called Pageant, all about the seriousness I reference. Here’s my question for us: if we are all God in drag, are we thinking consciously about our presentation? Are you taking care of God’s body which is on loan to you? If so, bravo/a! If not, think again. It’s the only body you’ll get this time. Be joy, Susan Corso Dr. Susan Corso Seeds are remarkable gifts.
