Imagine

Imagine a world where,

as Thomas Merton says,

every non-two-legged creature

is a saint.

 

Imagine a world where,

as Meister Eckhart says,

the soul is not in the body,

but the body is in the soul.

 

Imagine a world where,

as Teilhard says,

the flesh is made word,

not the word made flesh,

and all matter is soaked in God.

 

Imagine a world where,

as Thomas Berry says,

the universe is a communion of subjects,

not a collection of objects.

 

Imagine a world where,

as St. Francis says,

brother sun,

sister moon.

 

Imagine a world where,

as Pope Francis says,

caring for the Earth and all creatures,

we have only one heart.

 

Imagine a world where,

as Jesus says,

rejoice and be glad;

blessed be the poor, meek, and merciful,

for theirs is the kingdom of God.

 

Welcome to a world of wisdom and thanks,

a world where we are all blessed.
