What if Man…
What if Man
did not fall
to Earth,
but
flew?
—–
What if She
did not fall
damaged
and caterwauling
but landed
in perfection?
—–
What if Man
is
Angel
of such courage
and power
that it is one
of
a treasured few
that can leave
the shelter of heaven?
—–
An angel
with
the strength,
the purity
and the
unspeakable
courage
to live;
to experience
the nature of
One.
—–
To be One;
and so
to feel,
and cause,
the pain
of
Not
Being
One.
—–
What if Man
does not fall
miserably
but flies,
to retrieve for
The Beloved Oneness,
the Holy Grail:
a thimble full,
of being
Oneness?
—–
If
we knew
we had taken on
this agony
with such magnificence
would we cease
the whimpering
of
original sinners
flawed in every
thought:
flawed before thought?
—–
Would we stand
and
say
"We are here for one reason only:
to live Oneness.
And we do it
with power
and courage
and love".
—–
How could we possibly enfold
the dragon
if we were flawed?
—–
How how could we begin
to experience
Oneness
if our very nature
was "less than";
"excluded from";
sinners in the original?
——–
And if we are
less than
who is lesser than less?
Who is the greater sinner?
How many degrees of exclusion
can we create to insulate ourselves?
—–
If we arrive believing
we are excluded
then we will exclude.
—–
We can only
experience the
Oneness
if we are it
in the first place
—–
And when we return,
we take with us
in triumph
only that:
The experience of
Oneness.
The rest,
The Separation.
does not exist.

What if God…
What if the God we believe in,
or reject,
is not the all powerful
who turns from love
to vengeance,
but is the most delicate
gossamer?
-
What if God is the
the lightest butterfly?
Not the weight of the universe
but the wisp
that’s needed
to balance the universe
on the breath of her wings?
-
What if God depends on us
to preserve the space
for that breath?
To protect her
from the turbulence of our
wheeler-dealing prayers?
-
What if the gossamer
is worn ever finer,
the wisp ever lighter,
when we call upon her
to slaughter our enemies?
-
What if the power of God
holds
when we are still
and listening
and alert?
So that, in that watchful
stillness,
the world can
come to rest.
-
What if our sacred duty is
to be God’s haven?
-
Would we still
drill the hearts
of our enemies,
bomb the cities
of the unbelievers
or clamour to be the chosen?
-
Or would we stop:
in case the din
toppled the beloved?
