The Eschaton Immanentized
There is no separation between the realms
Of Matter and Spirit; God is said to rule over
The sensible realm, and yet upon the earth one
Finds a proliferation of that which is nonsensible.
Minds do not, as Descartes insists, interact
With Matter. Objectified Spirit interacts with itself
And thus proceeds towards the Absolute. The
Christian asks us to purify our hearts, and yet
How can that which is ascribed no value, reduced
To mere biology, act in accordance with divine
Spirit? The answer is simple: Human spirit teems
With organic potential and, like all spirit, finds
Expression in every tree, every flower and every
Last drop of water. Spirit grounded in Nature.
