ALL ARE BLESSED
“ALL” ARE BLESSED, ETERNAL BEING
Wednesday, March 29, 2017
By Rev. Dr. Larry Delano Coleman
UNLESS STARS THAT SHINE SO BRIGHT AT NIGHT ARE CURSED;
UNLESS FLOWERS THAT BLOOM IN SPRING ARE CURSED;
UNLESS EARTH, AIR, WATER, FIRE, ELEMENTS ARE CURSED;
UNLESS ANIMAL, PLANT. INSECT, ATOMIC, SUBATOMIC ARE CURSED;
THEN, NEITHER IS MAN, WOMAN NOR CHILD IS CURSED; BUT, BLESSED.
ALL THAT “IS” HAD TO HAVE COME FROM WHAT IS “NOT,” YET WHAT ”IS," BEFORE.
--THAT WHICH IS INVISIBLE, INSENSIBLE, UBIQUITOUS, INVINCIBLE.
THUS, HUMAN LIFE, STAR LIGHT, FLOWERS, AIR WATER, FIRE, ALL ELSE:
--ALL THAT IS; ARE EPHEMERAL EXEMPLIFICATIONS OF THE INFINITE:
THUS, ALL IS BLESSED, BELOVED, CONTINGUOUS, INDIGENOUS, ETERNAL.
AMEN.
(inspired in part by “Phaedo” by Plato)
