The Source of the Pattern
The Pattern is in the heart beat
It’s built into every lung’s breath
Built into the waking up and the going to sleep
It’s built into work and into play
In birth and death
The Pattern is seen in the rising and falling of empires and kingdoms
The Pattern is observable in the path of the Sun and the Moon
The Pattern is expressed by the hanging stars in the sky.
It’s seen in the entwining of the Heavenly and the Earthly
The Pattern is shown in Creation and foretold in the wrapping up of the same
The Pattern is found in the Word of God
It’s seen in all things and in all times
The Pattern is lived out in Christ, walking the land of Palestine
The Pattern is in the Crucifixion and the Resurrection
The Pattern is breathed out by the Trinitarian Godhead.
