Meditation on the imperfect world

This is something I wrote this afternoon at Kickapoo with an old-fashioned pen and paper.  I'm making myself sit down and post it because I'm keeping far too much stuff in my head.

I do not mean to threaten or disparage anyone else's beliefs with this.  I don't know that I believe it all myself, for all that I wrote it in definite terms.  This is spiritual, but not in agreement with fundamental doctrine of any religion I know.  If you're tetchy about your religion, please just don't read on, because while I'd welcome an honest discussion, I'm in no mood for a fight.
