Dear All of Us,
So, how are you with
OPPOSITES
go or no?
Seems
opposites scare
the hell into
a lot of people.
They like
more than
their milk
homogenized.
Not me!
Opposites are a good deal.
They hold up bridges.
Salt and sugar
companion to
spice things up
in opposite ways.
God's Creation
is all in:
male and female
day and night,
birth and death.
Opposites don't oppose.
They compliment and complete.
Some ruminations.
Left and right go opposite ways.
Those opposites open up a
Full Spectrum,
geographically, intellectually,
spiritually, experientially,
completely,
"ALL-a-ly."
Imagine the absurdity of
only being able to go or see left.
We'd never get to Grandma's
for Thanksgiving because
she lives due west,
way right of
one's eastern location.
Looking only left
we'd get more than
a crick in the neck.
We'd miss a heaven of a lot
of Creation's vastness
that's just right
REALITY
is like our globe
We live in a wraparound fulness.
ONENESS
We can have opposite
shapes and starts
even be poles apart.
They all lead round,
fitting together,
filling out a completeness.
That fullness is a unity,
a
ONENESS
GOD
"Hear, O Isreal:
The Lord our God is one."
Deuteronomy 6:4
and it is
"In him we live and move
and have our being.
We are his offspring"
Acts 17: 28
That "WE" is
ALL INCLUSIVE
ONENESS
opposites
being together in
God Good
Misused, though,
opposites conflict.
If I think I'm
the only act in town and
someone quite opposite
takes the stage
a terrible tragedy
plays out.
If I'm glad to be
the class act
God made me to be
and a quite opposite
God made class act
takes the stage
we get to team it
for a
God Good
Class Act
Double Attraction
of
Opposites
making a greater
Fullness
Other people, religions,
political persuasions,
customs, tastes,
personalities, talents
make for a fullness that
"Only one of
a kind-mine"
can't catch-match
in a forever of tries.
Paul puts it positive.
He describes
The Church
as
The Body of Christ
many opposites
united
harmonizing
in unity for good.
(1 Corinthians 12: 12-31)
It's like
opposites such as
fingers and eyes
cooperating
for
eye hand coordination
enabling brain surgery.
It's good to be
opposite positive.
Paul points out
there are different kinds of
gifts, service, working
all coming from
the same God
for
the common good.
(1 Corinthians 12: 1-11)
These light bright
just right opposites
from Paul
are such a help
in times like
our right now
with its
fouling force fit
that one size must fit all.
That's because
here in Dodge
not so "right" now,
it's deadly different
than Paul paints opposites
completing a fullness.
We've got
rampant evil,
a raging hell,
in our
World Body
these days of
blackest night.
Its a cancer
canceling out
anyone/anything
opposite
It's a lethal
Soul Sickness
that threatens
to cancel us all out.
I sense that
it stems from a
tragic lack of
felt and/or accepted
joy in being a
God given
Class Act
among other
and opposite
God given
Class Acts.
That deficit
try's to
kick to death
what it is not
and ends up
deadened itself
and
so horrendously
madly much.
Opposites need opposites.
Conservatives need liberals
to loosen them,
to free them up
for further fullness.
Liberals need
conservatives
to help them
hold fast
to basic goods
and not free float
into misty detachment
from rock real actuality.
Healthy souls and societies
rejoice in their uniqueness
and that of their opposites.
Such healthy
souls and societies
delight that
opposites attract
to a union complete.
Creation is like
a limitless
jigsaw puzzle
fitting together
as it expands.
God makes us
the unique
people pieces
we are.
We and our
opposite shapes
figure fit to
God's Fullness
Opposites don't oppose.
They complement and complete.
The Cross
is an intersection of opposites.
It stretched deadly forever lively.
Thank God for
OPPOSITES
