Life Evolves

Life evolves:

life evolves, and all without a grand design, no intelligence greater than its own — this, for me at least, seems to be the only God worth our understanding, that we are part of this innate process of life evolving for its own sake, belonging so fully to its expansion. Is it right to bring God into this? Well, I’m not a science writer, understanding little of the technical language that explains evolution. But what I am is alive, and inspired by a deep sense of finding myself participating with life on equal terms, that I belong to its every point and process, and this speaks to me of God.

so I write only from my own inspiration, with nothing to prove and no explanation for the language that I use. I use the term God for my own understanding, invoking the awe I feel in rediscovering my sacredness in an ever greater sacred view of life. This isn’t God the creator, but creation itself, evolving through infinite ages of a singularity in propulsion of the potentiality of life, all the way to this moment now. And amazingly, I am part of this, deeply so, orchestrated by chance and mystery to fit in seamlessly, essential even in the vital role I play in shared respiration with plants, home to a microbiol world, and to my every act of kindness. This is all that I belong to, and I find it holy by expression, science reflects my understanding, but lacks a certain language of the soul.
