The unflagging lunacy of God
The unending seaminess of human beings.
The meeting between them that is always
A matter of life or death
And usually both
Frederick
Beuchner
ah the lunacy of the Sacred
there we are
in hot dampness of
the seamy world
struggling
striving
needing the Sacred
needing hope
but finding ways
even in the name of the Sacred
to find only more darkness
politicians, placed in positions of trust
betray that trust, and they people entrusted to their care
preachers, entrusted with the message of love and hope
share instead hate and despair
(just today a “minister” in NY told his people that
Starbucks puts the semen of gay men in its coffee – true story)
“people of faith”
accepted and forgiven
reject and judge
and yet the Sacred becomes present
again and again
and yet again
bringing love
seeking to make us people of love and compassion
how crazy is that!
