It starts with a choice,
planted,
mixed with a mustard seed:

choose to believe
in something
else,
something
other,
possessing –
-INTENT –

and then to give IT
the power to implement
-INTENT-

and then to taste and see
whether that
-INTENT-
is good news or bad.

Then,
to locate the abode of that
-INTENT-
in some nomads tent?
on some mount in Sinai?
in some oasis in the sky?
in a Bethlehem manger?
in us?

Then to name that
-INTENT-
father, son, spirit, ancestor, wood-sprite, me,
or
“they who dwell in a 5 or 6 or 20
dimension universe
so different from our 3D world”

(or not)

who make the trip to here
powered by omniscient thought,

sometime after some Edenic fall

to die,

(perhaps, on a cross)

to save us all.
