start with a heart: tried & untrue…
A "me"-ness, apart from you,
is a mean-ness that shrinks the view,
a machine-ness, animal too.
A mechanism, learned by rote,
a power-play that wants to gloat,
I'll see if "No!" is spell-command
to make all be what I demand.
And if it is, why then I'm blessed
for I'm the God of all the rest.
I'll try this out - it's just a test.
'N'..Oh ! ..
Well I want to be knowing you
knowing you well.
Not that kind of no-ing that's always got smell
of rejection about it, that first says the word,
then only after, it thinks how absurd
It was to be no-ing you,
knowing just who
you are, with you
knowing as much as you do.
I want to be knowing
the same way as you.
I find that I'm no-ing in other ways too.
I'm like a small child
who is no-ing his dad
& no-ing his mum,
though yes-ing a tad.
His early word "no"
is the one, this is sad,
that he says most of all;
as many good lad
has started off no-ing.
But what makes me glad
'sthat story of son who was no-ing his dad,
but knowing his dad and requests that came from
him brought a new knowing
that prompted him some
to get and be doing
his dad's good request
so though he was no-ing,
when put to the test
he more was a going,
for that he was blessed.
Oh make me like that lad
that no-ing as I
often am doing,
I'll come by and by
in time ensuing -
go give it a try.
'S'pose that's what I'm doing
- this walk you and I.
"Aye" for beauty…
The kind of "EYE" that says it all
- I would by "Saul"-ing, not appalling!
the other "AYE" is list'ning to
a king on high, who sees right through
the picking pride with no inside,
a blastula, a hollow sphere,
that would compete, though incomplete,
with babe full-termed, 'coz it had learned
of malformation in relation
to the babe, 'twould see un-made.
I choose the "Aye!" I'll live with you,
and no more on my own, to do
just what I want, when I want to.
And here, you've done, gone given me
an "I" that is more full and free,
the paradox of love complete,
creative wondering in your feet!
I use the word called "I" to mean
this one who speaks, in body seen
before you, if you too were here
on gravel Withers Road quite near.
But what you can not see inside
is change in "DNA" implied
in moving from a single celled
existence, to one then impelled
by orders from above that come
from all of hesed-love, and some
creative wisdom over all;
and that has started in this Paul.
Appallingly quite incomplete
but with you in some sore-ish feet.
OLD TO NEW WORLD VIEW
Despite that science tells us "This world is
not what it seems on outside, to the feel,
with layers upon layers forming things",
I still believe that our ol' world is real.
Our scientific story tells us that
despite what we all see here (think we "know"),
there's layers of "community" which mat
together, and which interleave.. (quite so):《1》
Inside, within each body, making up
the living ones, are individu'l "cells",
or living creatures that can be corrupt-
ed, or combined to make a host where dwells
the multicelled "community" we see
that's planted right before us "on" (or "in")
our ground of being. Even you and me.
And these can be disrupted or can win!
The ways that these communities would seize
things 'round about to aid their tiny parts,
to work together: shelter, feed, and ease
their life, to bring a thriving from their starts,
are called in this Our world "to feed", & "clothe
and shelter", self or fam'ly, other lives.
The old words from Our world that covered both
are "love", & then there's "peace"- which meant "life thrives".
But smaller yet, each body that exists,
of rocks, or gasses, animals or plants;
(and irrespective of "life" tagged to its
existence as an entity, per chance..)
is made of smaller atoms, molecules,
or other things that kind of are like "seas".
But smaller yet (these aren't just words of fools)
are forces "circling", balancing with ease.
Where either particles or waves "impart"
existence to those higher levels too.
But here we haven't even made a start
on bigger things, like Galaxies and U-
ni-verse, or other categ'ries rehearsed,
like Supernova, Nebulae, and Giants,
Dwarves, and other stars that shoot and burst,
to cook up compounds, elements and ions
from which all of the rest can start to "be".
Invisible dimensions in this way
we start to understand, and maybe "see"
within our "mind's eye" - as they used to say.
But still our story makes more sense, or less
of all dimensions we've encountered here,
since we were born - to order and to mess,
with this ol' world. - And this is where I cheer
myself as I move on, and others too.
The world we "started" in, that let us learn
about dimensions and these worlds that you
have just now been reminded of, don't spearn!
The story that's apparent: God made this
whole world with more dimensions than you'd poke
at with a stick, does not seem so remiss
and starts to look less like it was a joke!
"The best is yet to come", as AA found
in fact, through living in this re-al world.
And there's a higher power hanging round
to see if we would reach out and be curled
within the love of biggest Dad, or Mum,
and let the Great Creator's fam-il-y
look after us and grow us, and then some..
towards more of a nature that is free
to love back, as we have ourselves been loved.
And that's why most religions in this world
admire, and think good-life was surely gloved
within the life, that we have mostly hurled
our insults at, and blamed him for our faults
and misdemeanours, laziness, and such.
It's him I would commend to you. Us dolts,
we killed the model human God loved much -
the second Adarm (and would kill his Eve,
that God brings from him while he's "not around").
In jealousy and ignorance, we'd weave
a net to catch them yet, like beasts been found
and named. So if you ask me to I'll tell
the story of the glory of God "THERE",
who loves his kids, and wants them to do well,
take on creative love, and learn to share.
