Hour 3 – The Created

Look at the dirt.
The soil which sustains life:
Twisting roots anchoring,
Gathering and delivering.
The bugs which feed it all:
Laboriously collecting,
Climbing, marching, dying.
Look at the dirt and say:
“This is good.”

Look at the water.
The streams that ripple:
Cleansing and clear,
Quenching and carrying.
The seas that thunder:
Deep, dark, and ineffable
Alive with mystery and motion.
Look at the water and say:
“This is good.”

Look at the sky.
The stars that blink:
Distant and vast and tiny
Sketching myths across void.
The universe that shimmers:
Encompassing, expanding, creating,
Alight with life and fire.
Look at the sky and say:
“This is good.”

Look at yourself.
Your body which holds your form:
Breathing, moving, digesting,
Dancing, speaking, healing.
Your mind which is the truest you:
Perceiving, analyzing, organizing,
Feeling, loving, creating.
Look at yourself and wonder:
“Is this good?”
