A Sermon

Assume Earth is the womb of an organism we have named “Universe.”

Each living, breathing creature, every natural phenomenon, then, is a cell within this organ of the larger organism that is our Universe.

Each cell, of every colour, shape, size, capacity and talent, has a very specific and vital part to play in the grand scheme of the birth of new generations of Universes.

When the cells perform their tasks in harmony, the Universe hums in contentment and new Universes are born, each perfect in its potential for being and becoming.

When the cells become hostile to each other, when they show aggression towards each other, when they assault each other and kill each other, a cancer is formed. Organs are affected. Systems are diseased. The womb is weakened. The potential foetus is damaged. The gene pool is diminished.

The Universe loses a child, a line, a possibility, a potential…

Cells beget cells. Creatures beget creatures. Life begets life. Worlds beget worlds. Universes beget universes.

There may be a tremendous difference of scale between cells and Universes, but a single defect in a single cell ripples in effects and consequences not only through the Universes that exist but also through those that have the potential to exist.

Every chirp, every bark, every rustle, every waterfall, every chant, every rhythm, every song, every tune participates in the vast, everlasting symphony of the spheres just as every soul of every being participates in the spirit of the Universes that are and that will be and that have the potential of becoming.

Every whimper, every groan, every cry, every slap, every voice raised in anger, every curse given in hate, every howl of pain, every uproar, every gunshot, every explosion, every detonation blasts a false note, a discord, a disagreement, a friction and participates in adding disharmony to the everlasting Universes that are and that will be and that have the potential of becoming.
