Metric or Imperial
It is those experiences with the infinite,
those divine moments that continue to bless us and
the world around us.
Any attempt
to contain them or
make our experience
of the Divine or that of another
conform
to some
predetermined
standard
only diminishes
the blessed gift we
receive
and our ability to
share
that gift with others.
The Divine experience is
neither imperial or metric.
Does it
really make sense to try
and measure something that is infinite?
Our appreciation
and experience of beauty and love
is not improved by the search for
dividers
that mark out the points of beauty, the
yardstick
that calculates compassion, or the
measured flask
that dispenses the correct amount of love.
There is no protractor precise
enough or tape measure long enough
to describe all the Divine and Infinite beauty
that surrounds us,
flows through us and
fills us with each breath we take.
Together,
let us rejoice in this.
