Today is the Feast of the Ascension of Jesus Christ.
Amen...
Thank you Chris for the inspiring upstream article!
"A little while, a little longer..." but not for much longer according to this poem by English Poet and Philosopher, Brian Taylor:
GATES OF EDEN
It is now two millennia since
the Security Seraphims
were withdrawn
and the Gates of Eden reopened
to the General Public.
Free Admission
to all children
(before their parents succeeded
in banning them).
Free Passes
to those adults who agree
to leave their baggage outside
(as strongly recommended by JC)
and successfully passed
the Camel’s Eye of a Needle Security Check.
(C.E.N.S.C.)
This will detect even your bikini
and any other thoughts
left over from heavy addiction
to the fruit
of the Tree of Knowledge.
It is surprising and chastening
how few (excepting children)
have availed themselves of this
Once-in-a-Lifetime opportunity.
Especially
as it is rapidly approaching
its Expiry Date.
Outside the gates,
are innumerable camper vans,
over-flowing removal lorries
and the charred remains
of dead animals (holy sacrifices).
Together with a jostling crowd
of fashionably robed
Bishops and priests,
some artificially bald;
some with original designer beards.
They are selling
genetically modified,
original cuttings
from the Tree of Knowledge,
together with heavily translated
instruction manuals;
each with its individual
Stamp of Infallibility.
These guarantee to give you
instant and privileged entry,
via a back door (with donation box)
to the Garden of Life
(as soon as you are safely dead).
Once the Expiry Date is reached
(determined by when Planet Earth
can no longer cope
with man’s inhumanity
to man and nature),
the killings by man
will be replaced with
the cullings of men;
controlled, systematic, cosmic.
Then the Gates of Eden
will be closed once more.
Seraphims will be reinstalled
with suicide bombs
(make your own),
missiles, and drones
instead of flaming swords.
The discarded cuttings
from the Tree of Knowledge
will grow into a concealing forest,
peopled by a race
of test-tube-originated primates.
And God will try again elsewhere.
Beautiful!
Amen!
This is beautiful and thank you for the reminder, inspiring and empowering.
Thank you for this beautiful reflection. It is inspired and inspiring.
