the Unmoved Mover

Gary Edward Geraci

 

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.
