Pantheism
Not again will I profess
my faith in a personal God
Nor its religions, rituals and rites --
The creator and breeder of acrimony,
rivalry, retribution, fear and animosity.
Nature is my God
My God is the natural world,
The spirit of Nature
is mingled in my spirit --
We evolved together
In every way we are one,
Nature and I are as body and soul;
When you see me, you see Nature,
When you see Nature, you see us both!
I do not aspire for some
imaginary heaven or an afterlife,
And deny
all supernatural inspiration or revelation.
God is the Universe -- Eternal, infinite,
Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresence;
Everything in Nature is an aspect of God,
There is nowhere God is not.
I have nothing to confess
but my love of Nature,
Which I cherish
Revere and
Vow to preserve
In all its magnificence,
Beauty and
Diversity!
