They somehow stood out as a likeness of
authority and creativity
from love of life. You wouldn’t think of pov-
er-ty, they struck you with some bright glor-ry!
Their mannerisms, and approaches to
an opportunity or problem that
might come their way, might often remind you
of love’s designs. The way they wore that "hat".
Their loves and longings, curiosity
and motives which just natively impelled
them was the best you’d ever hope to see.
As phantom limb- it’s kind of like a smell -
declaring something that you don’t yet see,
because a world of shadows, virtu’ly
exists through coded models in us, we
might posit coder’s work in us rightly.
They stood-in for the maker of the whole
she-bang. A heritage which must go on.
Thus destined to grow into such a role,
their need to grow up might never be gone!
They stood up close to where their parent was.
They’d often share the stuff of life with Dad.
Dependant on their partnership because
they recognised the outcomes as “not bad!”
And sometimes training still had to occur.
They had to learn “the good”, not from afar,
but choose in line with whose view can see fur-
ther, and who knows a lot more, ’s where we are!
And though their “eye” is blind, within their head
as member of a body that sees more
they get to be so pleasured; “pleased” was said
by who empow’r’d and energised them for
the task that they’ve been given in the whole.
They’re made to stand up, and stand out as well,
and proudly, gladly keep full in their soul
the life, or blood that keeps them from the hell
of impotence to bring more smiles down deep
inside the lives of their connections close.
And loyal love is what might make them weep,
or sob, from wound with separated flows.
”..And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and creeping things and wild animals of the earth of every kind.” And it was so.
God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind and the cattle of every kind and everything that creeps upon the ground of every kind.
And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, “Let us make humans in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the wild animals of the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”
So God created humans in his image,
in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. …
God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good.
And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.“
Genesis 1:24-29, 31 NRSVUE
