Misery, Beauty, Joy

The Father does not hinder
The climb out of misery
The beholding of beauty
The permeation of joy

  1. I enjoy the bubbling up effect of this work. It is as
    though it is emanating from either one’s heart, the earth,
    or some other source.

    There are aweful questions lying in the midst of this
    hopeful ditty, as well. Why did the Father let the
    principal get in this state? Is there a difference between
    hindering and abetting? Why has He chosen such a passive
    role? Of course, has the author failed to stop projecting
    his childhood experience onto the current belief system?

  2. Mattwricks, you are insightful. It’s funny you keyed on the Father’s passive role, because the impulse for this piece came from a new understanding that we are to be active and intentional.

    It speaks of our purpose for ourselves and for those we affect on this planet.
    Of course, the “does not hinder” part was purposeful understatement. He encourages and intends this action, but to what degree he ensures it is a good question.

  3. PS: Again, you are insightful. The “bubbling up” does imply a heirarchy, or, better yet, a progression.

  5. Thanks for the good word MattWricks. Every now and then I put up something that reflects gratitude, admiration, or awe, like this and “Night Tonight”. They end up being personal favorites too.
