Synodality – A Taste of Perfection, Satisfaction and Completeness

We don’t look for perfection,

We don’t look for satisfaction,

We don’t look for completeness,

In one. . .

. . . leaf of a tree

. . . blade of grass

. . . droplet of water or 

. . . grain of sand.

Then why do we look for perfection,

Then why do we look for satisfaction,

Then why do we look for completeness,

In one. . .

. . . person

. . . social group

. . . idea

. . .spirituality

. . .religion

. . .political ideology

. . .nuclear family

. . .economic model?

Perfection, Satisfaction, Completeness

Is never perfect, satisfied, or complete.

It’s like a journey towards the horizon

An imperfect, unsatisfied, and incomplete journey.

A journey that gives us a taste of perfection, satisfaction, and completeness,

A taste revealed in togetherness, not alone.

Like the togetherness of . . .

. . .  the cluster of leaves on a tree

. . . . the collection of blades of grass

. . .  the numerous droplets of water

. . .  the grains of sand.

Perfection, Satisfaction, and Completeness

We taste it in the diversity of

. . . community

. . . relationships

. . . ideas

. . . spiritualities

. . . ethnicities and race

. . . personalities.

We taste perfection, satisfaction, completeness as a human family

Journeying today in preparation 

To become fully perfect, satisfied, and complete, tomorrow.
