on reflection..

Well, "Thank you for the sleep I had just now, 

and thanks for food & drink that came last night, 

along with the warm bed, and also shower."

Creative love knows what I need, or might.

And since part of the way creative love

works, is to give more chances as I learn,

more choices, still curtailed from up above

by cultures which enable us to spearn,

or laugh, or know taboo, and speak or sing.

A human's hardly human without this,

the gift of culture isn't ev'rything

(or maybe, as I think of it, it is!).

A gift of spirit, that enables us

to grow up here, within our culture's care,

as guardian angel, it has power to fuss,

humiliate and praise; but still beware,

we humans, to be children of the god,

creative love, which made this world, and all,

must learn the culture from above that's got

the spirit of the Way to grow up, small

we may be, tiny spark, yet known, and named.

I full attest by this creative love

I'm known, I'm loved, I'm learning to be framed

in all my thought, and actions, words, that cov-

er over still, my animal desires.

I'm joining in myself, to make a god,

within this womb-world both lower and higher

s-sentiments and motive forces got ..

got from, or giving to, us each their gifts,

will grow, or else diminish, human kind

-ness, and the grace, and favour which en-lifts

and has capacity to heal the blind.

Well, as I start to see it clearer, more,

I'm fully learning so to live the dream

of those who want to wander as before

in garden under love's creative stream.

Live streaming from creative love, whose self

is tender and won't break a reed that's bruised,

but aches to rather heal it, make it well.

For ecosystems are what it has used.

Creative love would heal throughout the lot,

at ev'ry level, animals and plants,

bacteria and viruses have got

a place within the ecosystem, ants

and bees, and snakes and worms, you know as well.

I choose to be known, as I know my child,

or friend, who would share life, and secrets tell,

but then, to know as I am known. That's wild!

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.
