Gathered people of God
[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] Last Sunday was Pentecost Sunday, regarded as the birthday of Christ Jesus’ church (‘church’ referring to the gathered people of God, not the building) Tired of godlessness and spite, longing for the place of light, …

This reminded me somehow
Posted on Fri, 23 Oct 2015
This reminded me somehow about the book of Ecclesiastes, where the imperfectness of everything, incompleteness in this life is shown. I think maybe I'll have to come back to this, there's so much there, so many different metaphors to think about...

Posted on Wed, 21 Oct 2015
I liked this too, though I also thought you might think of a stronger climax line. The last but one seems to balance the third - disjointedness and then your world coming together, presumably a sense of things making sense, fitting together,...

So important, those last two
Posted on Mon, 28 Sep 2015
So important, those last two lines, and the whole poem speaks of imortant things being 'taught' that are probably unnoticed by many, rather than the whisking of children hither and thither for special experiences and 'education'. I think we found...
