Being and Becoming
by R.E. Slater
Being Worldly
Being Secular
Being Humanist
Labels meant to make
the people living them ugly
Words meant to divide and kill
create strife and separate
Meanings misused and misappropriated
twisted into definitions of exclusion
We become our words
We become what we say and do
We become our ugly intent
Being is a beautiful thing
Becoming is part of living and maturing
Being is me
Becoming is too
Being meets Becoming
Making both whole
Becoming Worldly
Becoming Secular
Becoming Humanist
These are expressions made whole when
a God of Love is placed in front of them
Who meets me with who I should become
Who meets world with what it can become
Who meets us to tell us Love, and be Loved
There can be no apology
for being who we are
There can be no pulpit
crying separation from the world
There can be no creed of
oneness with God if not also His people
Godly worldliness provides experience where there is none
Godly secularity sees beauty wherever it looks
Godly humanism sees the possibilities of mankind at its best
Being and Becoming
Flowing and Movement
Balance and Harmony
Let it be and become
Undivided and Whole
In this Life now to Life everlasting
