Qoheleth Haiku 5:2


 
2Never be rash with your mouth,
nor let your heart be quick to utter a word before God,
for God is in heaven, and you upon earth;
therefore let your words be few.
 
Speech expresses thought
Line of communication
Godlike qualities
 
The heart is the self
The I when one says I am
Reflects God’s image
 
Clarify your thoughts
Align them with God’s design
Before you speak them
 
Is God localized
One transcending time and space
Within time and space
 
The reality
God-human relationship
Specifies locale

Communing with God does not require that we convince God of anything.

Qoheleth Haiku 5:1

 
1Guard your steps when you go to the house of God;
to draw near to listen is better than the sacrifice offered by fools;
for they do not know how to keep from doing evil.

Where’s the house of God
How can it be a building
God’s universal
 
In guarding your steps
You watch to live God’s design
In God’s house the world
 
God creates us for
Personal relationships
To define ourselves
 
Relationships are
Unlike our acts of worship
Essential for life
 
Essence of evil
Live other than God’s design
Living life backward
