December is poetry month here at WillSpirit. Please forgive the digression as I take a needed break from essay writing. Just scroll back to November to get to the real substance.

Sometime and somewhere
The apes began to speak

Objects became words
Words became concepts

Until concepts
Claimed truth
And myths began
To make sense of objects
To build stories out of words

Until concepts crowned themselves
As facts
As gods
And the gods waged war

But before the apes spoke
Nothing was true or false
There were no gods
There were only objects
And a living spirit

Life was ever aware
Long before apes thought about it

And objects displayed evolution
Long before there was a word for it

Back then
God was not a concept
God was not an ape
God was not a deity
Or a judge
Or a divider of tribes

God, if you can call it that,
Simply was
Awareness
Love
And Unity
Evolving through time

Expressing itself
First through living objects
Then through talking apes

Until now
We are charged to abandon
The concepts we have built
And find the Truth that speaks
As life itself.
