“The Fall”

Creativity creates something out of nothing.

Destructivity creates nothing out of something.

It is the opposite of creativity.

What goes up must come down;

everything has a season;

even the leaves must fall.

We have trained ourselves to believe

that there is an inevitable downside to creation.

Perhaps creation in this realm

is all we know; the yin and yang of life.

But deep inside me is an assurance

that the eternity of truth

knows only the wholeness of creation.

The secret to understanding is that

the extension of love creates nothing,

yet illuminates all that already is.
