Patterns

We are winners 
even when losers -- 
God’s patterns,
Whole, holy and perfect -- 

Patterns even random
never exceeding Divine Borders --

Though it is often difficult to see the trees for the forest, humanity is preprogrammed for victory.

Agreed ! It’s all about patterns ~ the most Beloved one is the Merkaba. And there’s no borders so the patterns are infinite. I love this vignette because beneath both “winners” and “losers”, there is only Peace. B the Light, Dear Joe. X.

Thank you, Chairo: How alive the light appears-- bending with the water-- sliding from points of crests; making one wonder if light is only above or somewhere in depth of sea a spirit spark swells until it can do but one thing-surface! This is not morning sun rising; or moon or starlight tempting one to dream-- it is the light that men follow... even onto the cross...
