Limbo and Other Awkward Positions

I say that I like change, want to do new things, need different input/stimuli.
So now i stand at a major crossroads in regards to work, home life, and my art. The stage has been set for major transitions and the curtain is about to rise on the new phase of my life.

But, to continue with the metaphor, I feel like I haven't memorized my lines yet, or even got a copy of the script. The sound guy came with a boombox that only gets one radio station (that I don't like). The lighting has a mind of its own and seems stuck on flashing strobelight. Folks don't want to come unless they are on the guest list + 1. And the show premieres soon at a venue no one has ever heard of before. And the concessions people insist on serving everything pork, even though i don't eat it.

Or- like the game limbo, which involves people contorting themselves to walk underneath a stick, I am watching the bar drop lower knowing that somehow I have to squeeze through the gap in order to move to the next level. But my flexibility is shot and the person I am competing with has a double jointed back.

Or maybe I should go with the lighter interpretation of the term as used by Chubby Checker. Shouldn't life be a lot more like a fun party where everbody dances?

Let's look at the catholic meaning of "limbo" which describes innocent and righteous souls that haven't made their way to heaven since they weren't baptized. Well, my mom's side of the family is catholic, to varying degrees of follow through, and I have been to many a mass (well easily over a dozen) so this definition intrigues me. It presumes notions of guilt and innocence and involves a very judgemental god who insists you recognize his son in order to move spiritually forward. Fascinating and a bit male-centric.

Mind you I have very intriguing ideas on religion and spirituality, which I do share at times, but I am not in the business of converting other people. It is a spiritual philosophy of one, or the trinity of "me, myself and I". Pieces strung together from my own experiences and insights combined with my multifaceted family background and upbringing which includes Islam, Catholicism, Christianity and my name which is Hindu.

So, imagine if you will, an omnipotent, omnipresent being existing as creator and maintainer of the universe in which we live. That is a downright powerful position to be in, not to mention a post that would have required a serious qualifying resume! Would that Being really devote so much time to pursuits around OUR daily choices and afterlife location? Is that really the limited nature of the job description and duties? Thank god I am not God. Cause I thought my job was a pain! I'm just saying, if I was powerful like that, I wouldn't waste me time with people.
