Consider Poem by Chris Whittle

CONSIDER


Consider where we came from and to where we are going.
Consider the circle of life and being.
Consider humanity on its journey and its destiny.

From Adam and Eve wandering naked through the
Garden of Eden,
eating fruit and talking with God,
to their children communicating on the World Wide Web
and talking on their mobile phones
to others on the other side of the earth.

To war, poverty, injustice and evil.
To love, faith, hope and sacrifice.

To exploring the planet and walking on the moon,
To discovering who we are and where we are going
We find ourselves returning to our roots
and the Spirit that birthed us into life

Consider the circle of our destiny.

We came from holiness to doing evil
and now we must return to holiness.
We came from knowing and light to ignorance and darkness
and now we journey back to the fullness
of knowing and enlightenment again.

Our destiny is a circle and a whole.

From life to death and back to life again
and every degree in between,
by faith we stagger back to the waiting arms of our Father.
From heaven to hell and back again,
our journey is the cycle of redemption
and becoming whole.
