Daimon

"In ancient Greek religion, daimon, also spelled daemon, often referred to lesser deities, but could more broadly signify "the experience of divine power".The term's etymology is unclear, though it is often thought to originate from daio ('divide, distribute'). The Iliad describes the gods congregated atop Olympus as daimones;the term is employed by a Homeric character when they are unaware which deity is the agent of an event. In Hesiod's Works and Days it describes the souls of people from the Golden Age, who acted as guardians (phulakes), leading to its denoting a spirit who positively or negatively influences an individual's life."

I find interest in "the experience of divine power," many words may fill this subject (theosis? gnosis? enlightenment? etc...) but "daimon" serves my purpose.

I find I gaze into reality and improv to improve. "Yes and..." I think. What can be made better. Idea-(s) swirl into -logies and when the dust settles I find myself searching for what to trace. After all, turbulence is but an aspect of every corner of being. Some may feel drawn to teach, create, preach, or more; I find this to be a daimon of sorts. God is a complicated name to utter. Often I dare not utter it in company for the weight I carry under its implication. A force so elusive I could not simply adhere to spoken meaning. I may best communicate god as a verb, in what I do: my daimon.

What better way to triangulate God than to square the circle in the presence of peers who I would so love to share with?
