Looking at ourselves
There is harmony
Every cell of us
Its function complete
It’s great we don’t need
To think nor to plan
Only to receive
The wonders of each.
Like the body of Christ
Unity and harmony
Each part different
Accountable functions
Accurate competence.
An eye doesn’t try
To be like an ear
It’s like an orchestra
Unique symphony.
Sometimes I have caught
Myself in stress
Tense my body, neck….
My face is all wrinkled
I give it some thought
And then realize
Why not to let go
My body knows best.
I’m grateful for that
For catching myself
There’s no more distress
Since now I’m in charge
Without resistance
But peace in the knowledge
It is what it is
What I feel ...in... the now
Being able to write
I’m grateful for that
Process and connections
Are moving my muscles
My nerves, impulses
And even my eyes
Don’t forget my breath
Excited at times
My heart pumping hard
Did I say all that?
Brain amazing circuitry
Complex and perfect
Labour effortlessly.
Dearest living thing
From which we should learn
To live in full peace
Like the body of Christ
Each mind your own business
Joy in other’s tasks
And accomplishment
In collaboration
And togetherness
Cause is God’s creation
Everything is right!
Mutations are bad?
In the plan of God?
Autistics and dwarfs
Precious sons of God
From them we do learn
Acceptance….to say…
Unconditional love
Great sincerity
And so.....
And so on...
