Welcome

Primitive religion is not believed, it is danced!

Arthur Darby Nock

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
And only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.

Elizabeth Browning

thoughts on the Boston bombing

sunny skies
dreams fulfilled
arms raised in triumphed
loved ones greeting
kissing

and then
hate
personified
blood
legs gone
children dead

terror

and in the shadows 
of the shadow
hateful voices 
alex jones
pointing the finger at our government
many
screaming out Muslims
others suggesting
that the radical right found a new way 
to celebrate patriot day

each word of hate
conspiracy intolerance
feeding the fury
and the hate

each word
a new act of terrorism

making it ever more certain
that more children will die
more people will be maimed
more will weep

many years ago a man faced
these same forces of evil
there was blood
there was a broken body

and there were the
words of the man
Father forgive them

and there was the voice of God
hate
and violence
ends
here!

love is the only
to
win
