Measure


The way of God
Is like a tape measure
Ever extending and adjusting
In hand to what’s measured.

Not that things can’t be measured by certain marks
Accurately and meaningfully for what they are
But that the units are only what we make of them
And precision only by the human eye.

So to be sure
God is not relative
We are
And from this we cannot escape.

Even theologically
We are always relative to our gaze in God
For while everything must be IN-God just as it is
Yet OF-God comes a distinct and diverse human measure.

So let us view
Whatever might be
The measure of all things
Accordingly.

 
There is no command from God
Which is not written by human hands
Yet
There is no human law
Which does not aspire to God’s hands


God is context
We are meaning

God is the object
We are the measure

God is scale
We are units

God is the range
We are the accuracy

God is limit
We are precision

God is the spectrum
The world is alight
And we are that bright sliver of colors.
