The Creator in Creation

The Creator in Creation
When you walk the shoreline of a beach
with eyes and ears and heart open,
the essence of the sea is before you.
Countless other shores are possible
yet the core of the ocean is known
in one shore or sea or rock or wave
for the ocean is one in the being of Gaia,
the Mother and presence of all water,
and in the Spirit of the Father
Who brings life to fruition
in His dance with the Goddess.
We pick up singular rocks and shells,
the beauty of part attracting our sight,
carrying pieces of the ocean in our pocket
just as the movement of the waves
and the sound of the tide
travel with us from the shore;
yet no pieces are apart from the whole,
no one rock or shell, seal or fish
detached from the fabric of the sea.
The shoreline changes;
what lies beneath the surface
except the slender lines we cast
are depth and richness of life
beyond our imagining
though not our damage.
She calls us to awaken
to Her wholeness
and Her unity with the Father
free of religion’s density.
We believe we awaken apart
but that illusion too must fade
for we are all we see and feel,
the Creator upon two feet
walking beside Her vast ocean
embodying the presence
of Creator in Creation
alive in the wonder
of this moment now.
