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

Who are you going to serve?


“You're gonna have to serve somebody;
well, it may be the devil, or it may be the Lord,
but you're gonna have to serve somebody...”
                                                          Bob Dylan
______________________________________

We all serve someone, or something
Whether we admit it or not
Like it or not

Its true

We all have something or someone who influences
Everything (perhaps) we do
That shapes what we believe
That determines what we see

And sadly, the truth is that often
We don’t know
What drives us

We just don’t

There really is only one way to find out
And that is to look in the mirror
Look at how we treat others
Where we put our energy
Who we choose to align ourselves with,
In short,
How we live

Do we hate?
Do we grasp?
Do we lie?
Do we treat others cruelly?
Do we support people who are dishonest, greedy, hurtful?
Do we side with power and wealth?

Who would our master be, if we behaved like that?

Do we love
Do we give
Are we honest, and full of integrity
Do we treat others with compassion
Are we people for others, especially for the poor?

What kind of Master would cause us to behave like that?

Think about it!

Because

“You're gonna have to serve somebody;
well, it may be the devil, or it may be the Lord,
but you're gonna have to serve somebody...”
