Fully Human
Perhaps at a more subconscious level than otherwise,
For many a year, in the personal observation of me,
I have searched through and through for divinity,
And found never a trace, not even a spark.
Am I so insecure as to make MORE of me
than I really am?
Am I so insecure as to make LESS of me
than I really am?
Am I so insecure as a well-made human
as to claim divinity?
Is it not enough to just be me,
so wonderfully made?
Indeed, I am more than enough,
so skillfully built by God's own hands.
Indeed, I will think neither MORE nor LESS
of me than what God Himself has conceived,
and be MORE than grateful to receive, and
LESS consumed with the magic and mystic.
So, let Christ alone be fully human and fully
divine at the same time, God incarnate.
May I be content with being, not divine,
but fully human and fully loved.
