a teacher…
[Reading through Matthew till today’s passage: ch13:1-33]
Jesus is a Rabi (and is known as "Teacher") & father (he says "My daughter"..., "my son...", & "my children"). It is interesting how Jesus takes everyday occurrences, and people, and events (a woman putting yeast in the family dough before cooking their bread), (as well as weird abnormal irregularities- an enemy secretly sowing tares in a king's wheat crop) to indicate what the reign of God is LIKE. (as we are Earthly LIKENESSES to the self existent one.)..
Jesus really is steeping himself and his communication in the product of those scriptures...
This is the job of all teachers/parents.
Oh God, please help me (I’m in those roles too),
to follow Jesus (this likeness to you)
he’s my exemplar in all that I do
this day, this week, this year, this life anew.....
I’m growing younger over many days
to be a small child in my father’s world
where very rocks, and plants, & trees display
some diff’rent aspect each, to where they’re hurled
within a Universe, where I’ll rehearse
the lines and stanzas I am learning now
if they are helpful, for he has dispersed,
as he sees fit for purpose and somehow
(as junior partner in amazing job)
our meaning & enable-ment that now
we really can join in, as we are lobbed
into this circumstance. We often bow,
or look up to the sky. Horizon is
the metaphor for more than what is sensed.
For further worlds, dimensions are the biz-
nus of the human race, and recompense
for portals (as we are, & know he is).
A mother’s the participating “room”
for portalling of matter in a “whizz”
(9 months of atoms whirling in a womb).
A father is surrounding them with love,
provision, understanding, skills, and trades.
A teacher imparts wisdom “from above”.
And each continues walking, sometimes wades!
