circles
I walked a long time
struggling, seeking,
always alone.
Each time around
the same circle,
sometimes faster,
sometimes slower.
I fell inside.
The circle got smaller
until there was
no place
left to go.
And I kept on walking.
Nowhere.
From nowhere
You came.
I walk a long time now
struggling, seeking
always with You.
Now it’s Your circle,
and it goes everywhere.
When I fall,
I fall into You.
I can walk freely now.
Always with You.
Thank You.

always so simple. always so beautiful.
Jesus never mentioned homosexuality once. How has it become such an issue? Strange. Strange how all the things that Jesus actually did talk about fail to become issues. I mean, you start talking about war, and conservative Christians say, ‘Oh, I don’t want to be political and protest the war.’ Or you talk about poverty and the causes of poverty. ‘Oh, that’s a political issue; Jesus wasn’t political.’ Why don’t these people deal with the issues that Jesus did? It shouldn’t surprise me. If you look at the Gospels, the most respected religious people were the furtherest from the spirit of what Jesus was saying. It’s just the same thing all over again. But I am surprised. I really do continually expect Christians to be the most willing to accept pacifism, peacemaking, or redistribution of wealth, and care for the poor, and rethinking our prison systems and all that. But we end up being the most belligerent and self-righteous and all the rest. Scary.

“Nothing can keep me apart from the Love
that He has for me deep in my heart.
Not death and not life; not cruel accusation.
Nothing at all, not in all of creation.
This Love is not mine to abolish or seize.
It is of the Spirit. It is life and peace.
The pains that life brings will continue to torment.
But in Him we hope, yes, we wait and are patient.
Sometimes it still seems that the darkness pervades.
We hurt and we fight, as the light starts to fade.
We must not forget that the Spirit groans with us,
and sighs for our hearts when our words leave us helpless.
This life of the Spirit gives birth from above.
It flies on the wings of a heavenly dove.
For now in His light there is nothing to fear.
In Jesus there’s freedom, and Abba is near.”
