AbusesubA

The reverse of the abuse is
love


The initial abuse occured
when
for a split second

God
or the representation of god
that was produced so god
could see what he
or she
looked like

looked

and said:

"what the heck is that?"

and for a moment the love faltered,

and part of god laughed

at the other part of god

and that laughing part of god

made the other part of god

feel it was less than god,

and so

the cycle of abuse

began

. . . .



slowly,


through time


the abuse has compounded to the point where


pastors abuse parishioners


fathers abuse children


lovers abuse beloved


and the abused are so confused --  because


it all started for them


a long time ago,


when they had come only seeking


love.



It's time to break the chain;


it's time to look in the mirror and recognize


we are all complimentary parts


of the total image






The only way to make that change

to the man in the mirror

is to change the man

looking

at

the mirror.
