Conjectures of a Taoist Witch

She seemed a Taoist witch to me,
with Nature free of kind grace-filling restraints.

Surprise, then, follows her response,
"Of course I recognize Jesus as son of God
and further,
celebrate his good news
that God's creative nature remains in an evolving,
extending family way,
pregnant with healthy sons and daughters
each divinely humane,
at least potentially in time's regenerate fullness,
our healthiest wealth wu wei."

Not sure this sounds quite wrong enough
to provoke my evangelical supremacy,
I can only laugh with fertile pregnancy
of a less domesticated God.
