Disciplined imagination
reflects God’s reflection.
When I was a child,
reward and punishment
was activity’s pivot.
When caught breaking the rules,
absolution was sought through
atonement and reparation.
As a reflecting adult,
compassion and sacrifice
mirrors Divine mercy.
The Beatitudes rule,
communion is achieved through
submission and grace.
Common good relies on justice
and seeks to maintain order –
regardless of helpfulness.
Greater good promotes harmony
and restores relations –
envisioning accord.
Creative responsibility
reveals God’s revelation.
