"There is no involuntary action..."

"There is no involuntary action...."
                    - Science and Health
                              with Key to the Scriptures
                                        (Mary Baker Eddy)


not a blade of grass
springs up
not a hand reaches for
its perfect pairing
not a heart
leaps to hear
the song of
its echoed chord
without
divine intent

"there is no involuntary action"
without Love's impulsion
the heart
could never break
open and
expose it's inner core
to
risk
or
promise
or
hope

"there is no involuntary action"
without
Mind's conceiving
not a song
would be sung
a line of music composed
a
stanza of poetry
bled
from the pen of
heartache
and
pathos

"there is no
involuntary action"
without
Soul's longing
for the beauty of
It's own reflected light
the sun would not rise in the
East
the leaf would not
turn with it's neighbor
in perfectly
choreographed
movement to
raise its
face
to the sky
and drink in
rays like
newlyweds sharing
a sunset
on an island
balcony

"there is no involuntary action"
without
hope
the widow
would not rise
from the bed of
dispair
and feed her family
the
forsaken
might never
dream of
love
and the abandoned
child
could not trust
the
kind eyes of a
social worker
who offers
the promise of  "a family
all her own"

"there is
no
involuntary action
there is not a
desire
a
hope
a
longing
to be good
to find peace
to know love
to give generously
to live unselfishlly
to be known
     "as yet ye are known"
that is
separate
from
the divine
the immortal
the inescapable
imperative of
Spirit

"there is
     no
          involuntary
               action"
