My Pondering
This is a most quintessential statement. It is a core truth and one that resonates deeply within me. It’s truth guides me regularly. It helps me decision-make and cut through the confusion and clutter of the myriad of choices in life. It is so simple, it’s marvelous. It wonderfully illuminates the paradox yet principles of life.
Once we grasp the truth herein, we need to properly understand and distinguish the differences between essentials and non-essentials along with accurate definitions of unity, liberty and love.
The term “essential” refers to something that is fundamental, necessary, or indispensable. It refers to things that are crucial, vital, or required for a particular purpose or situation. Essential items or factors are those that are considered fundamental or basic and cannot be easily done without.
Unity, Liberty & Love Poem
In a world where unity finds its place,Kirk A. Booher
Where minds engaged agree and embrace,
Liberty dances upon the wind,
Where freedom's song shall never rescind.
Love, the beacon of hope that guides our way,
Brightening each and every day,
Thru trials and over triumphs we shall tread,
With truth and grace as our eternal thread.
Essentials, the lifeblood of existence,
From nourishment to heartfelt persistence,
Bound together, hand in hand,
Strong to the core, a rope of three strand.
We are anchored in common faith,
based on the principles of the eighth.
Standing firm on the Bible,
Upon absolute truth; there is no denial.
For in unity, we find our strength,
A symphony of voices, harmonious in length,
Together, we rise and overcome,
United, we create a brighter outcome.
In liberty's embrace, we soar,
Limitless horizons we explore,
Embracing differences, breaking walls,
For true freedom's bell forever calls.
Love, the force that heals and mends,
Binding souls, transcending ends,
We celebrate diversity, in which we abide
but over willful discord, we must divide.
Principles, the core of our being,
From the shelter of truth and clarity of seeing,
Preferences are the freedom of choice,
A melodic song of everyone's voice.
So let us strive for unity's embrace,
Liberty's flame never losing face,
With love as our guiding light,
Let's cleave to essentials, shining though the night.
