IN PRAISE OF ALL
IN PRAISE OF ALL POWERS
Gravity is a power of nature that exists in the universe, and earth. It keeps us upon earth as the earth rotates, revolves, rocks, and rolls; flying through space in prescribed orbits at 66,000 miles per hour.
The opposite of gravity must be evaporation, another power of nature. Evaporation lifts up what gravity pulls down. Entire rivers dry up from evaporation, as do oceans. Diverse dusts ascend and descend, as did angels on "Jacob's ladder."
Our lives are all blends of blessed natural powers, of which gravity and evaporation are each members, as are other powers: known, unknown.
When we rise up or sit or lay down or move around, therefore, we all naturally salute the givers of these capacities, these powers, by their mere exercise. We are naturally powerful beings, as other powers are.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; and to Infinite and Eternal Cosmic Powers which now house, host, boast, all!
Amen!
