I daren't -if I ….!*




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.

John 14:15‭-‬31)

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.
