In the minutes of the meeting
Last held with God
There is an entry under
Any Other Business.

One of those present
Brought up the subject of
Mortal bewilderment.

It was asked of God
That if it were possible,
Could there be a standardisation
Across cultures
As to the post-death procedures
That are to be applied
On behalf of the departed
By those left behind?

God said that the rites
Pertaining to those
Who had died had two functions:
Sanitation and sanity.

As to the departed soul,
God said that He alone
Would take care of that.

The One and the many

image

Faith and belief are not the same,
Faith is One
Beliefs are many,
Faith is Love
Beliefs are
heartfelt,
…. powered by “be” lief
Where “lief”
is
beloved.

One “be”, many beloveds.

Aware, you can beware of
Storm and pitfalls.
Conscious of oneself ….
of one another,
Aware of oneself
As another “no other”, when
There is no other
Without your mother,
…. brother.

Father, sister,
The standing order ….
The Sist,
Consisting of the order “Be”,
Resulting in the …. “all there is -ing”
be-ing.

I am
who am.
