Immortal Love, Carlo Furlan "It's a Meaningful Life" series (John 1)

At the start
of all things -
JesusGod.
He set time in motion,
swirled universes
into existence
and breathed
life
into man.
JesusGod
crafted us
for his good pleasure,
not for the quiet desperation
of isolated units.

Bombarded with messages
to buy,
gorge
and drown
the longing for connection,
we struggle 
to be real.
The God-shaped hole
aches
to be filled,
our hearts restless
until we find You
and
fit together
like the missing piece of 
a jigsaw puzzle,
satisfyingly
snapped into place.

All that is 
came from JesusGod.
 All.
Every mind-boggling
particle
of this amazing creation -
beauty trembling
in a dewdrop
and reverberating
in a note of crystalline
music -
comes to us
from His hands.

Humans are the epitome
of His masterwork -
fractured though
we may be,
yet shot through
with glory.
May we see each other
with new eyes
this season -
immortal sparks
reflecting JesusGod,
sprinkled
with salty grace.
