Let’s Party!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was Told
\nthat The God
\nof My Sunday School Class
\nLoved Me
\nIn Spite of My Self,<\/p>\n

a Self Despoiled
\nby Eve\u2019s Curiosity and
\nAdam\u2019s Disobedience
\nIn Tasting Forbidden Fruit
\nCalled Knowing
\nThe Difference Between
\nGood and Evil.<\/p>\n

That God
\nthen Fashioned a Whip\u2028
\nto Drive The Two Sinners
\nfrom Paradise,<\/p>\n

to Distant Places
\nTeetering on the
\nEdge of Hell,<\/p>\n

Into Which Death
\nwould Throw Them
\nUnless<\/p>\n

Lambs were Slain
\nin Their Stead,
\nincluding
\nThe Lamb
\nof The Gospels.<\/p>\n

I Am
\nWaking Up
\nfrom That Nightmare<\/p>\n

to Find My Self
\nIn the Inseparable
\nCherishing Embrace of
\nThe I Am That
\nI Am,
\nThat You Are,
\nThe All That Is
\nAll That Is.<\/p>\n

The Love
\nand Light
\nand Laughter
\nWho Knows
\nNothing Else But
\nto Throw a Party of
\nAdoration,
\nFree of
\nCondition or Judgment,<\/p>\n

for the Beloved
\nProdigal You
\nFear Your Self
\nTo Be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
