Creation's Oath

How long will you squander
your precious time and energy
trying to fit yourself into
the imagined mold of divine perfection?

Jesus' earthly sojourn was
as a human; fully as a human.
Incarnation is not a blueprint
for transforming imperfect humans
into faultless heavenly beings.

It is an invitation to fully experience
the joy of humanity
for which we were created.

In that primordial order,
perfection comes from completely
embracing our creatureliness.

Peace and harmony come
when we all figure out
that joy arrives with living
as our true selves,
our whole true selves,
and nothing but our true selves,
so help us God.
