Our One Body


I come alive each day in the morning sun. . .

realizing I am incomplete as I stand naked

after my shower, cleansing my body

for new adventures.

I leave my humble hovel to join humanity. . .

completing the purpose I am to fill, completing

the body that God created me to serve.

We are each separate parts of the body,

needed to join together to be whole. . .

to be productive. . . to be one – one pure body.

To be the complete body God created. . .

to be the perfect Adam. . . to be the perfect Eve.

Yes, and to be the perfect gender person you may be!

We do this together as one body, joined together

in God’s world. We are one perfect body - God’s

I am a retired high school and college professor. The last 10 years of my teaching was as a college professor of literature and writing. I have self-published one book of prayers and meditations and am preparing another book of poetic odes to faith and love. I am truly honored to be welcomed into this group.
