Soliloquying

Soliloquying

(syllogistic)

If God is love

And God is a spirit

Then it might, it should

Follow that love is a spirit

And that a spirit is love

There are times when matter

Matters more

The flower on a table

The open door

The favor no one asked for

Nothing for a show except

To say

What we should say

Love is a spirit

And in something like eternity

Materials are messages

I don’t know how they rack up

When it’s not a game

Though love should be fun

And sad

And hard, sometimes

Remembering to keep it small

Might help,

Remembering

The larger things, too

I guess I’m saying

Not because of me

Nonetheless

Spirit and matter

Keep it real

notes

John 4:24

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

1 John 4:8

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

It might be synchronicity, more likely inspiration. The day before drafting this verse, I was reading Jane Dougherty’s excellent exegesis of two Scripture verses at Jane Dougherty Writes (https://janedougherty.wordpress.com/2020/05/21/gospel/). I so highly recommend her blog (https://janedougherty.wordpress.com/).
