she looked up..

---

So she looked up to him, her lover true.

This was not hard for her, but “Easy as..”.

The more she saw and bore, what he would do

the more responsive habits and pizzazz

were borne into the world within her self,

and things conceived within her being were

developing and growing. She’s “in health”

though sometimes feeling less, and encumbered. 

So she was glad to bear outcomes, to birth

an image of their unity and love,

to then aid (as her part was played on Earth)

development & growth more, “from above”

her own designs, participating still,

as wife and mother can, and often does -

to lead the way, and show the path that will

make home on Earth for more choice. Thus she must

become a leader, bound to multiply

the wisest ways that may seem very small,

to others who would posture, or pass by.

But he himself, the lover, does see all.

He looked up*, sees the leaders. Notices. 

And tells his lead disciples to as well.

Instead of just big rocks, and stones, he says

a home for God is made, for him to dwell

upon the Earth, within her who displays

responsive love, that trusts, as it now gives.

Not as the Chiefs, and Leaders of those days,

he sees, and celebrates the Way he Lives.

Notes

“Lord, I look up to you,

    up to heaven, where you rule.

As a servant depends on his master,

    as a maid depends on her mistress,

so we will keep looking to you, O Lord our God,

    until you have mercy on us…’ (Psalm 123)

[3] He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them, [4] for all of them have contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.” Luke 21:1-4 ( within context of Luke 19:41-21:06) 

[& “He sat down opposite the treasury and watched the crowd putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. [42] A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which are worth a penny. [43] Then he called his disciples and said to them, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. [44] For all of them have contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.” (Mark 12:41-44 (within the context of Mark 11:27-13:2) ]

… and blessed (God), broke the bread and gave it to his disciples to distribute to the people. (Jesus, after telling his disciples to feed the people they said they were so concerned for. Mark 6)

…, gave a loud groan, looked back at the man, and said “Ephatha” [which is Aramaic for “Open Up!”]. (Jesus, after a deaf man with a speech impediment was brought to him to do the “usual” Authoritative Rabbi thing to. Mark 7)

… and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify you – [2]  just as you have given him authority over all humanity, so that he may give eternal life to everyone you have given him. [3]  Now this is eternal life – that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent. [4]  I glorified you on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. [5]  And now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory I had with you before the world was created. (John 17:1-5)
