The Other Side of the Coin

excerpted from "A Covenant With Truth"




If we are only actors
Playing out a script written long ago,
That script certainly has been a sorrow-filled tragedy
Of war, chaos, and misunderstanding.

What is life itself...
If it has already been decided?
What is the point of living it at all?
Is this just an excuse for us...
When mistakes are made...
That... it was "meant to happen"?

How can we accuse God of causing all of our hurt and pain?...
That everything that happens in this world is God's will?
If that is true, then... is it God's will
That we "sin" just so that we can "be saved"?

Isn't it more true
That it is mankind's will that is reality in this world?...
That what we see is mankind's version of life?...
That... this reality is only one side of that coin...
That gift of life...
That we hold in our hands?

Couldn't it be more true?...
That there is another version of life?...
That other side of the coin?...
That we know is there, but we just can't see?...
Another reality that is like a Dream?...
That is something more true and beautiful?...
Something more whole...
How life would be... if we were in harmony with it?

And yet... not quite seeing that beauty...
We adjust to the imbalances in the reality we live.
This "truth"... what it is... as it is...
Like a mathematical reckoning
Reduced to its most basic definition...
Is the real Law in this real world.
And balance must find its way through it.
