Creative love, when I've been cold, or wet,
or dry, or bold, or almost scared to death,
in all these things, I can share with you, bet
you feel them presently in me, a feath-
er, hair, or tooth, or nail in hand or foot,
cannot fall off, be driven into wood,
without you knowing, feeling, and it could
be said that if a cup of water should
be given to "the least of these", it was
so given to yourself, or your anoint-
ed one, who was rejected too becoz,
you were yourself rejected, un-appoint-
ed, spearned by who you fed and watered, clothed,
& sheltered gave a space, & home within,
your place, where you would walk and talk. We loathed
to walk, we baulked, we felt embarrassed when
there came an opportunity to join
with you, in ways most intimately done,
to be, in fact, in ev'ry way, in loin,
in heart, in mind, in purpose, right at one
with you, in your embrace, and when you traced
the line of jaw or neck, enmeshed within
your secret self shown to who lived and faced
their maker, lover. Oh my GOD, I sin,
unless response is Everything and All,
to love unbridled, unbounded, allowed
to author me (a god, but only small,
a baby, yet a fetus). Be hallowed!
..Be hallowed, by this one, here, now, at least
this starts the rest of this one life's response.
Is this quite fair? You give to me a feast,
and though I'm naked, blind, and poor at once,
you let me, as you did old Enoch then,
accept the offer of your company,
as you would walk through your world now, and when
you choose to do so. I would live to see
this world through your eyes, and you may take mine,
and look through them, as though they were your own,
these hands & feet, if yours may be divine,
but too, rejected, as has been your "throne".
* " ..stays in me, and I in them" (John 6:53-59)
"‘If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you for ever – the Spirit of truth. … you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realise that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.’ … ‘Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. … That the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me.
"I in them, and thou in me" (John 17:20-26)

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.
