Lyle 1:1-5 ---

¹IN OUR BEGINNING

GOD CREATED OUR UNIVERSE

SEEDING INTO ITS TEXTURE

THE POTENTIAL OF EVOLVING LIFE;

²SPREADING HIS SPIRIT THROUGH ALL

ENDOWING EVERY LAW OF PHYSICS

SUBSTANTIATING EVERY PARTICLE AND ENERGY;

³EXPRESSING A GRAND, GLORIOUS CREATIVITY

SO GIGANTIC AND COLOSSAL IN ITS SCOPE

TO GATHER EVERYTHING INTO A PINPOINT

AND EXPLODE TO THE ENDS OF SPACE AND TIME;

⁴ACROSS BILLIONS ON BILLIONS OF YEARS:

GALAXIES, STARS, PLANETS, WORLDS

ALL CONCENTRATED AND SET INTO YOUR MIND;

⁵ENDOWED WITH SELF-AWARENESS, FREEDOM,

AND A CHOICE TO REJECT ITS OWN FIBER,

THAT ONLY THOSE WITH A TRUE DESIRE

MIGHT FIND THEIR WAY BACK HOME.

Lyle 1:6-20 --- HUMANITY

⁶AND GOD SAW THAT HIS CREATURES COULD THINK

ARRIVED AT A STATE OF CURIOSITY, THEY REACHED OUT

AND HE TOUCHED THEM AGAIN, GIVING THEM SOULS;

⁷BEYOND A MERE PIECE OF HIS SPIRIT, THEY WERE BLESSED;

MADE DISTINCT, BRILLIANT, AND ETERNALLY INDIVIDUAL;

⁸WITH GOD-LIKE SENSITIVITIES, TO SEE FAR BEYOND

WHAT COULD BE SEEN, NOT AS MERE ILLUSIONS BUT

IN HOPE THAT THE ACCUMULATED WEIGHT OF EVIDENCE

WAS MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS SEPARATE PARTS;

⁹REFLECTED IN THEIR ABILITY TO TOUCH EACH OTHER,

MAN TURNED TO WOMAN, AND FEMALES TO MALES,

GRANTED THE POWER TO PASS ON THEIR SOULS;

¹⁰FROM PHYSICAL PLEASURE TO MERGE HALVED CELLS

CRYING-OUT FROM ECSTASY AND PAIN OF BIRTH,

JOINED AT THE GENES, MINDS, AND VISIONS;

¹¹A FRESH CREATION OF INNOCENCE, POTENTIAL,

JOY, HUMOR, DISCOVERY, BEAUTY, AND WORTHINESS:

ENDOWING THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL

IN TRANSCENDING LOVE.
