If I Worship You
Sunday 25 February 2024
A Fragment
Notice that interval betwixt the chirping of the birds
Sense the emptiness in this remote valley
Did you feel it on that peaceful Sunday morning?
Did it tap your shoulder in the dead of night?
It encompasses everything, yet is so often neglected
We swim in it's presence; it consumes, it gives birth
As the stars cannot shine without darkness, we cannot sing without silence

I won’t ask you to surrender or let go
If you need to keep holding, keep grasping, that’s okay
You held on for a good reason, falling is scary for the best of us
Just know, Love is waiting for you
Love has always been waiting, ready to catch you
At your lowest, most despairing points, Love was there, and you were so close to letting go
But don’t worry, when you’re ready you’ll know
Love is eternally patient and welcomes everyone with open arms

Don’t strive for perfection
Perhaps you shouldn’t even aim for improvement
What if there’s nothing to fix?
What if the perpetual need to solve everything is why you’re discontent?
When we grow, like a seedling emerging from its shell, we are moving towards wholeness
Perfection doesn’t exist
Through wholeness, we become well-rounded and multifaceted
Wholeness is inclusive, welcoming the good, the bad and the ugly in equal measure
Wholeness doesn’t push away or repress so-called negative thoughts
Wholeness is adaptive and open, not restrictive and narrow
Some situations call for strength and power, more situations call for softness and yielding
The person of wholeness responds accordingly

A murmuration materialised before us, sweeping miraculously across a muted grey sky
Like the atoms of a body in motion, they moved in perfect unison
Transfixed, I looked on with wonder and awe
My friend spoke "It must have something to do with the leading birds and the motion of air travelling to the others"
I momentarily held this view in mind, then felt a pang of vacuity and despair
The wildflowers burgeoning across the springtime field, their green stems suffused with golden light, petals joyously spreading, are they also to be summed up scientifically?
What about the glowing moon suspended in the nightsky?
And the magnificent mountains sprawling before you, terrifying and wonderful, spilling toward the distant horizon?
How about the fox that locked eyes with you as you wandered home, its amber eyes glinting in the dark, its rusty pelt bristling as it scurries away?
Awe and humility should be welcomed through the door of our understanding, and we should ask them to sit right beside science
