potions put away;
child’s play.
powers put away;
contingent.
presupposing power
more powerful,
more complex;
an unenacted
potentiality?
just another mover.
strength is not in the cards
or the stars
but in Him
who just Is:
pure subsistence,
simple,
all act,
no potency,
no parts.
what starts in the Assembly
conveys into the home,
the workplaces,
the hearts of men and women
looking; seeking
a vibrant existence.

Good write Gold.
I stumbled over 'aseity'. It could be similar to 'per se', as in 'a-se....' but me Latin extends to about three words.
A book, irritatingly at times, puts in Latin phrases at intervals. One meant 'of course'. Why not just say 'of course' in English?! yet it shows a certain classicism, I suppose.
I'm bit rusty on Aristotle too - the quote! We would go insane, imagining a Being without beginning, but God just IS, as you say.
