A Creed/affirmation of Faith

At a time unknown

            The universe and

It’s worlds and substances

            Were slowly formed

                        And given Life

By God’s breathing           

            And sounds of

Amen, Om —-

Life arose in all its beautiful diversity

            On and within our Home  – Earth

And beyond

At a time unknown

            Human beings evolved

They gained insight, heart and. Love

And knew the preciousness of Life.

Evil and Goodness

Pride and humility

            Wounding and healing

Wholeness and brokenness

                        Were known

At an unknown time

            Men and women, who knew the

Heart of God, which is Love

            Showed themselves

Over the eons

In all the nations

                        Most are unknown

Yet their wisdom remains:

***************

Jesus, a Jewish man

            Born of a woman

Arose immersed in the Spirit

                        And the Goodness that

God saw in Creation –

            Taught, walked, healed and

Spoke and acted in Love.

 In him  there is the grace

that transforms

Yet many felt threatened and afraid

            Of Goodness

                        And murdered him.

It is believed by many that Jesus

            rose from Death

was transformed and

spoke with his disciples and others

                        Eating, laughing and praying.

Many believe that this man 

Rose even higher into the sky

                        Like Elijah with angels

So, we wait for Elijah to come to dinner

                        With us

To eat, share and be in fellowship.

Jesus is at that Table sharing, eating and in

Fellowship.

            For all time. We are One.

In Wisdom we are immersed. We are One.

In the Divine we are One.

            **************

Life is wrapped in

            Human nature of

            Love, jealousy, loss, kindness, ego,

self-centeredness, heart, silence, renewal,

desire to do good, grace

vibrancy and fragility.

Life offers moments to celebrate

in  worship, prayer,

meditation, silence,

walking in nature,

sharing, giving and

receiving. Amen. Let it be so.
