God's Fingerprint On the Sistine, Michaelangelo painted God's fingered thrust giving with Love the gift of Life to Man fresh from dust. First breath, beneath the Heavens ! Second breath, on land and sea ! From then 'til now, a thrusted finger sculpts his Destiny. Not long ago, Instinct was his primal need and guide when smells repelled, fires frightened and lightning made him hide and stars up in the Heaven were just punctures in the night while reflections in the water were the ghosts he could not fight. Then Lightning struck and all beasts ran. He made a mental leap to stand his ground in Thunder's roar, a choice to "not" retreat. And Nature merged with Instinct to define Creation's goal from God's thrusted fingerprint now stamped upon his Soul. And if Time's compressed into a day for beasts for Man and flowers, then Life with many a cell showed up in just the last twelve hours. And Dinosaurs walked on Earth last hour ! Pre-Man, a minute or so ! Modern Man, you and I only just got here less than a second ago. Still time to learn from Wisdom ! Still time to shed the Fears of pain and War mourned by moms who've cried a billion tears. Embrace the Life that's precious. Be proud you're Man from dust and fashioned by the hand of God in a single fingered thrust ! Namyh |

Your poems are always rich with wisdom and information. It is apparent to me that you are well-read and have a divinely sophisticated and philosophical mind. This was another fine write! Love & Light,\ Linda   |

Margherita – We’re here to testify that Life is a gift with inherent struggle that sharpens the wisdom. We take them for granted too many times. Thanks for you multiple reads Margherita. I’m honored. Namyh |

Linda – I only have a divinely sophisticated and philosophical mind on Thursdays. The rest of the week I go mentally inert. It’s a survival mechanism. LOL. But thanks for your wonderful words and I am so glad you got something from this. Namyh ThisDiamond – I hope the tapestry never frays or begins to unthread. Thanks TDiamond. Namyh |
