BE AT REST

BE AT REST Tuesday, October 31, 2017 By Rev. Dr. Larry Delano Coleman Reconciling all, blending all, African American music, fraternities, history, philosophy, literature, arts, crafts, inventions, idioms, businesses, farms, families, into one organization, is impractical, given their American ordinates, coordinates. It is at least equally impractical for Africans’ ordinates, coordinates. Better, then, is a pervading spirit that inseminates and parturitions, than one that reifies or partitions. In this manner, intangibles outweigh tangibles, spiritual outweighs material, past and present are in parity. Start where you are. Continue with what you have. Your effort is as valuable as anyone’s, as everyone’s. As for the nature of the ‘pervading spirit,’ it is embedded in you. Your spirit is that life given you by God. You matter. Your ideas, imagination, investigations, speculations, attempts --all matter, magnificently. Apply yourself to that particular purpose for which you were placed here and now in time and space. Having done what you were sent here to do, having been true to that spirit of God in you, be at rest. For, you will have emptied your cup. You will have cleaned your plate; will have finished your course! BE AT REST.
