help us to understand
(not that we would change
anything)
God has no hands

God has no hands.
We are the ones
with the hands!
About – my didacticism
November 19, 2007
I am often didactic. I know it can be a turn-off. I am sorry. I can’t help myself.
I believe our human problems are solvable. I believe there is wisdom at our disposal. Yet our consciousness is busy with busy work. We are all busy keeping once-useful now-archaic notions alive.
Ideas such as privilege or eternal damnation seem axiomatic to most. They legitimize division and dismissal. Yet my faith and observation is that God shares everything and never gives up on anyone.
I sense urgency in the air and within myself. Each day brings more sad news. But the tragic has become entertainment rather than a call to action. The very things we ought to be alarmed about become our anesthesia.
People are innately philosophical. If they are given the opportunity (including the freedom and encouragement to think independently) they will find a way to get along.
I need to be a part of that process in several different ways.
the God Cage
November 7, 2007
We frame God
in a cage of words
like a monkey
begging for coins.
poor God – so misunderstood
May 22, 2007
poor God –
always an excuse
for war,
always an excuse
for wealth.

You do no service to the past
May 5, 2007
You do no service to the past
by obsessing on it –
by wailing and crying forever…
To define everything by “then”
robs the past of its redemption.
