...for that I came

As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:
'myself' it speaks and spells;
Crying 'what I do is me: for that I came.'
I say more: the just man justices;
keeps grace; that keeps all his goings graces;
Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is -
Christ......
(Gerard Manley Hopkins)
All God's creatures including humankind know what it to 'be' as God created them......only man, however, sometimes learns to do otherwise and usurps God's role. However, when graced by God, every human person finds true joy when he or she consents to being the unique self God has always meant for him or her to be.
