"Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all of the wild animals of the earth, and every creeping thing upon the earth." Genisis 1:26 Everything in nature has a purpose, including me and you. I believe God inspired men of faith to record the oral tales passed down through time containing the truths of creation as best as early mankind could understand. These men of faith wrote in metaphor, parallels, poetry. Over centuries, it has been mankind's challenge to interpret or reject these writings. For me, the human condition is to find purpose in being. planted seedlings grow when fed and lightly watered careless footsteps crush live and love with hope construct without destruction protect those with eyes "Plastic, paper, here" compost blended with the earth deep footprints erased care for God's Earth give hospice to God's children "God saw it was good."* I am a poet I find joy in the details I share my purpose ~~Judi Van Gorder Notes ▼ |
