A Little Hermeneutic for a Saturday Morning

A Little Hermeneutic for a Saturday Morning

(1 Corinthians 12:17)

 

If all were an eye

Which is a phrase I heard

(maybe in translation)

Then the body would have

Nothing else to do

Beyond looking

 

Sounds dull and

V R notwithstanding

Two-dimensional

 

Only when the body is all active

Is there interest and

Engagement with all the creation

That’s around us

 

And with the Genesis maker

We can say

(we have mouths)

That this is good

Psalm 18, about the divine participle

Psalm 18
about the divine participle

(Note Advent and Lent have
Participle meanings)

Lord, you are action, you
Are acting

The active spirit in the
Cosmos and inside ourselves

As a participle or a gerund
(Noun disguised as verb), you
Are meaning in all moving
Within beauty, space, and time

All is sounding, finding
Depth; all

Is soaring, reaching
Height, as you are passing
Over earth and sky and star

And under earth and in
The core

Our mortal lives
In waiting

You are saving
Saving grace
Within our lives

Helping us
In our divining
Lord
