Mind + Soul Sermon
3/16/2014
(Rain with changes in temperature)

Gospel:
Juan’s Song By Louise Bogan from Dong for the Last Act

When beauty breaks and falls asunder
I feel no grief for it, but wonder.
When love, like a frail shell, lies broken,
I keep no chip of it for token.
I never had a man for friend
Who did not know that love must end.
I never had a girl for lover
Who could discern when love was over.
What the wise doubt, the fool believes–
Who is it, then, that love deceives?

Sermon: Brothers + sisters, our binary system is one of a mind + soul, a head and a heart, thoughts and emotions, with no clear master or slave. Each with their own biological, psychological + sociological origins but with fundamental control over our futures. Favoring one over the other may leave us with logically valid but spiritually void lives, favoring the other a life of love but no intellectual position. Better it is that we craft ourselves a potion, pour a mixed drink and merge the culture of each to create, you, me, humanity.
