Fundamentals


Dirt, chaffed and scattered light and inconsequential.
Water, dense, rich, simple, essential.
Ruach, and the combination of both dirt and water.
Make us.
We are such fundamental beings
That is exactly what we are- beings.
We've complicated our humanity
Delusions of grandeur-
What we wear, eat, speak, look, think all matter.
We've become lifestylists,
obsessed in our playpen lives
with hairdressers, cars, shoes, music, makeovers,
sport, work, play, relationships.
But what are we, but a little water and a little dirt?
When in our hearts we despise that person
who doesn't walk and talk like we do,
We are little but turning from one clay figure to another
with disgust.
Who looks bad?
We do, because we are exactly the same as they are.
The creator sees this.
And His hand on our life is heavy.
a hand that compresses and releases pressure in turn
is the skill of a molder.
Too much pressure kills the simple clay.
Too little causes it to turn ugly.
Humanity isn't the complexity we make it out to be.
We're not irreplaceable.
Or indispensible.
That's what makes his love so real.
He doesn't need us.
He WANTS us.
