And God let forth a laugh that shook the cosmos for it was wonderful and very, very good.

And so it began, the cosmic dance of life and death, creation and destruction; for from the death of one came the life of another and each was food for the other. And still it was good.

But God’s laughter died as sin entered the world in the senseless hoarding of humanity. The music of earth’s fecund abundance struggles to be heard over the cacophonous greed of a few.

And so God dreams and hopes as the cosmos stands poised at a point of decision. A new paroxysm of divine, human, and cosmic energy stands ready to explode and heal. We will decide: a re-creation or continued destruction; a dream of hope or the nightmare of our greed.

Divine tears and anger mix with the scars and blood of a once beautiful, now tortured world. But God still dances abundance in the cosmos and in the hearts of those who cherish this gift of earth and long for its redemption.
