Dear All of Us,
Come on!!
Let's go!!
It's party time!!
What a blast!!
AND
What a host!!
It's everywhere and always.
It's a themed party called
Creation
The Delighted Creator
is wilding away,
having a heaven of a
God Time
sharing Self
here, there, everywhere,
this way and that.
The purpose and plan is
to presence
God Good
lavishly,
variously, vigorously,
happily, beautifully.
THE REAL PRESENCE
is a lot more than bread
in a church lockbox.
The real deal,
THE REAL PRESENCE
is
GOD GOOD
in wind and water,
truth and justice,
a newborn,
a long ago born,
in the Eucharist,
in poetry and prose,
in love making,
a Pieta and a pizza,
skinny dipping,
singing and symphony,
the James Webb Telescope,
raising kids,
raising heaven
at a block party,
hopefully in writing
and reading this.
GOD GOOD
invites us into the fun,
the cosmic romp,
of this creative wilding.
We plain prosper
when we are all in.
We people presence
THE REAL PRESENCE
of
GOD GOOD
be we tall, short,
introvert, extrovert,
nurd, nun, notable, notary,
programmer, gardener, chef,
friend, stone mason, curator,
funny, serious, sometimes both,
all the time by
who, how, where
we really are
and are becoming.
There's wonderful music
in all this.
Creation is more than
a monotonous few
notes of noise.
It's a grand, gracious,
spacious symphony.
Yet, there are those
who direct us to voice
only their self-appointed,
limited and limiting notations
of meaning, purpose, reality.
They demand and direct
from their perch podium -
the media and market,
social register,
company policy,
social class,
approved protocols,
the local pecking order.
We are directed to
Buy this. Drive that.
Live there. Ware what
we deem and design
as correct/acceptable.
Do this. Don't do that.
It's so sad sick!
An aborted symphony.
Disconnect, discord,
damnable dissonance.
Dulls the party!!
They try to fashion reality
by their fictions and fashions.
They want to dictate and direct
the purpose and plan of things.
They're not up to it.
We need to not fall for it.
To switch metaphors,
what they do is like
trying to put
a contraceptive on
creativity and creation itself.
God Good wants to
people presence
and prosper extravagantly,
uniquely, surprisingly,
make lots of music
lots of lots of ways.
It's a symphony with
ever more movements,
tones and tempos.
A word about
"where"
We people presence
God Good
in all kinds of
"wheres"
our place, position,
problems, possibilities,
stages and states of life.
Our "where's" change and
we change with them so
God Good
presences
through us where and as
we really are:
single, young marrieds,
in the mid-years, retiring,
gay, straight, living in the
city, country, suburb,
sick, healthy,
liberal, conservative,
unemployed, well off.
God Good
counts on us to
"Be there"
so she/he is there
in our "where"
God Good doesn't need
another of already.
We all are uniquely
one of a kind in
temperament, talents,
physique, graces, gifts.
God Good
counts on us to be
who and how,
we really are,
self-special, dear delightful.
We all blend, complement,
tone, harmonize as the
creation symphony
surges forth unendingly
varied and fuller.
We breakdance wildly,
without break at this party!
We are
vigorous and vital elements
in the cosmic blast of
God Good
aborning, abounding
in puppies, oceans, farms,
scientific quest, friendships,
sun ups and sets, and
so stunningly special
in us and all that is
and is evolving.
In our own way
and place
we all host a
COSMIC
HOLY COMMUNION
in
THE REAL PRESENCE
Delighted to come alive, commune,
"make a joyful noise unto the Lord,"
party and presence
with you.
