Little Wings (at the end of morning)

Another owl caught my eyes.

The microscopic explosions of our atoms are so imitated by the larger world. The grinding particles that fuel the sun and power our very solar system. The pulsing electrons that activate our bodies. The evolution of species and planets, as each out lasts the other. Do these not all stem from conflict? The universe is perpetuated by conflict—both major and minor—and that which survives conflict is that which continues existence. This is a core law of creation. But the human race is no longer required to create conflict in order to survive (though we rarely avoid it); rather, we are obligated to resolve conflict. To continue our existence, humans must now overcome conflict more than ever. To fail is to go extinct. We are without any other choice. How amazingly the grace of God has woven itself into the nature of things. That we grow through conflict and yet survive by forgiveness. Our very nature functions on some level within the boundaries of humility. The fruits of the spirit bring life, and no one lives without the spirit. This is the evidence.
