THANK YOU!

A little black thing among the snow,
Crying ” ‘weep! ‘weep!” in notes of woe!
“Where are thy father and mother? say?”—
“They are both gone up to the church to pray.

For Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love,
Is God our Father dear;
And Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love,
Is man, his child and care.

I woke up this morning and noticed quietness in my mind.
Hey! That little irritating Old Judge God was gone. Gone.

There is a Light no eyes can see…
a sound that can’t be heard with ears…
an ancient Loving energy
that vanquishes our tears and fears.

Did it happen to you

Two stone tablets, given to Moses on the Sinai/Horeb mount
The Decalogue, ten commandments in God’s law was the count

This unique film festival is designed to combine cutting edge films and interactive workshops to guide you from inspiration to action in Three “streams” – Spirit, Society and Self.

Jesus modeled for our class today,
naked in his open-palmed innocence.
We had never seen such a model before.
He even brought with him his own light.

If you can
tell me where
I’m going
after I leave here,
I won’t be
going there.

For the freedom of the air
that absorbs the smoke of hand-rolled cigs

For the mystery that enfolds us and blesses us,
For the beauty that surrounds us and nourishes us,

It was a long and complicated evolution
from matter
to life
to consciousness
to self-consciousness.

The soul hungers for a taste

of nothing.

A bumper sticker
displayed with pride
for all the world to see.

We meet again.
The moment,
Kind and generous,
The beauty,
Peaceful and serene

I am told that God answers prayer.
Always.
But then a few caveats are added,
meant to temper my expectation
for a quick and positive response.

Structured for Lent, but practical for any time of the year, this new resource examines the lament psalms for their connections to contemporary experiences. The introduction acquaints the reader with Dr. Walter Brueggemann’s analysis of the psalms into the categories of orientation, disorientation, and reorientation. A contemporary psalm/poem for each entry discerns the emotional tenor of the psalms and makes it relevant for the challenges of contemporary life and relationships.

“The meek shall inherit the Earth” said Christ
But what could this mean for the people today?
While corp’rates and rich folk gain more and more land
The poor live in slums where they’re still forced to stay.
