One leg after another (one foot after another) -
This world is now my home
and transformation place.
Where ever I may roam
I'm in some holy space,
for one is here with me
who made this whole she-bang.
Invisible thread be
by what this womb-world hangs.
Some laugh and say by what
can womb as big as Earth
be carried or be got?
And what’s connection worth?
I say with gravity
the core of love that is
the biggest mystery..
You see it in Jesus!
Invisible thread that
is in those metaphors*;
we don’t know quite how fat.
But what’s a heaven for?
Some questions miss the point
and strength of architect-
-tural help at every joint -
to bend, and yet connect.
Umbilical cord will
“at first” do quite the trick
of love giving it’s fill
to foetus that’s not sick.
But as the babe grows more
de visible cord’s cut;
loves purposes go for
much longer than we’ve got
in womb or song to tell -
a life of growing lots
and into that good well-
doing, with help we’ve surely got
somehow, or other we
can still persist in good -
the fact that help’s received
is firmly understood!
* e.g. MacDonald’s fairy stories “The Princess and the Goblin” & maybe “The Princess & Curdie”; “Following the thread” (read, or listen to, the very old children’s fantasy book called The Princess & the Goblin, by the Scottish author George MacDonald, to get a lovely “picture painted” of this metaphor).
^ from the Hebrew Bible: Genesis 4:_ - (God’s advice to Cain); Gen 6 (Enoch; Noah); Job; and the Christian Scriptures: Rom 2:5-11; my walk in Australia (beginning the 3rd Millenium since …..) & the whole purpose and aim of life in Christ, is to follow him who, in Peter’s words [to a Roman Centurion sent by God to stretch Peter’s (& the whole church’s) myopic view of God’s people ] “went about doing good, and healing all who were under the power of the devil, for God was with him” (Acts 9), and so to “not grow weary in well-doing” (Gal 6:9); & to not cease meeting together to “spur one another on, to love & good deeds”(Heb 9 or 10, v 24-25)
