Being Whole

May God himself, the God of Peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thess 5:23 (NIV)


How do we become whole except by getting away
by watching the sun set
observing the waves roll in
forgetting time
being aware of space
allowing ideas and thoughts to flow?

Being alone is stimulating, moves the creative juices,
the quiet allows the brain to unwind, the ideas to flow,
the senses to be stimulated, the darkness to envelop.
Great things are possible.

And yet, and yet

How do we become whole except by being involved
by sharing our ideas
bouncing off other folk
being regulated
and sitting with the tension?

Being together is challenging, yet growth producing,
allows for tangents to develop & be considered in all areas
the grinding of differing opinions
shapes intent and promotes development.

The whole God knows this and more
& loves us even when we choose one over the other
& so fragment ourselves
rather than remaining whole
