Know Business Like Slow Business

There’s no business like slow business
Like know busyness
I no

I have a gift for systematic thinking and pattern recognition. I delight in connecting the dots between the infinitely connected aspects of the universe. Everything reminds me of everything else. I am an Olympic figure-out-erer — rank amateur status only because nobody pays me to do it. It’s been quiet a wile since I have let go of large regions of reality as beyond my pay grade. I still have directions and attitudes, large patterns discerned through my living, going into these nether regions. Awe the same, there is a generous portion of faith that I apply to what might be, a ledged abysses. This poem is a meditation on the just a position of my faith and my persistent bewilderment with the foolishness helled in such an awesome whirled.

Oh My, Myopia

Who can
Fathom the mine of God
Sow wanting
Earth and heaven as won
And only Abel too fine
A tsunami of ether ore quest ins
Wading for the drum roll pleas
Snared a mist grays and just us
Scouring the grate faiths of Man kind
As caught up
In the bottomless
The works
Hour desperately wanting
Daze craven
Taking
An eternity
Knot seeing beyond
The end
Of our knows
Calculating net prophets
Who gets
The credit
Buy faith a loan
As if
God’s accounting
Can be
Under stood
How ever may be
At best
On our knees
As gun to ahead
Soully wanting
At last
God’s will
And testament
That braking point
A riches to rags store he
Wear that still, small voice
Is beyond herd
Over shadowing ether
Oar earthly site
If God is fore me
Who can stand agin
Awe questions bound
Just a posed
In the can
God create a spectacle
Sow big
That fools can see agin
Snared in that double blind

I am intrigued by the difference between equality and equity. I believe that we ARE equal as humans and all human rights spring from this. I see equity as when human rights are manifest equally across humanity. We ARE equal. We MAY work to bring about equity. My intrigue comes in with the radical rabbit hole of behaving “as if” people are equal — which is a claimed value by many. When I was part of a gay equality congregation (before gay marriage was legalized) there was a lot of strategizing over HOW to get to the church and society to treat gays equally. Of course, the overwhelming majority of such strategizing was how to get OTHER churches and our government to treat gays equally. For example, few professional Christians, aka pastors, in the gay equality movement actually openly agreed to and performed holy unions of LGBTQ folks — of course, because existing inequities would extract a price for such values. Or, how about laying down unjust privilege by refusing to offer heterosexual marriage until LGBTQ marriage equality? I now strongly suspect that the healthier and more powerful relationship to one another comes from individuals and small bands of people boldly demonstrating precisely what they value TODAY, not in some possible future, made possible by shrewdly bargaining for human rights, human equality, in the constellation of inequities  I am haunted by the question: how can I treat others equally NOW? I find human equality a dangerously transformative challenge. What if I treat strangers as family? I suspect that this is the very power of God. I fail miserably AND joyously go down that radial rabbit hole…

…or, are we all equal, and some are just, more equal than others?

Wanting Equity

What is
We ARE equal
What is knot
Is equity
What most people
Wanting
Ahead scratcher
As lean
Into
What is

As the greatly underappreciated theologian Elmer Fudd so eloquently stated, “I’ve gone down the wascally wabbit whole.”

Rabbit Whole

God is a rascally rabbit
And I AM
Down with that whole
Saved by a hare
Like the heir
I breathe
As sure as dust speak
The unspeakable
