Divine Diversity

I celebrate Diversity

(also called Heterogeneity)

in Life- in Nature, in People,

in different ways of being,

in different ways of living,

in different ways of thinking,

in different characteristics

and different properties,

in different physical forms-

all Life’s divine Creativity.

I celebrate Diversity

in Earth’s physicality,

in its lands and waters,

in its many creatures,

including all of us,

many different shapes,

different sizes and weights,

different textures and colours,

different feathers and furs,

different hair, skins and scales.

I celebrate Diversity,

not vulnerable Monocultures

of global agriculture,

of crops and animals,

of people only tolerant

of people identical,

a hive mind of uniformity

educational and political,

religious and physical,

a limiting Homogeneity.

Co-creating our lives with Life,

will we eventually be

bland, grey and infertile,

or robotic and mechanical

in a future Humanity?

I love Life as it grows

and evolves in Diversity

with Homogeneity

a limited (not destructive)

part of its functionality

interspersed in Life Diverse.

Diversity is Divine.
