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.

God in a box


All concepts of God
are like a jar we break

because only the infinite can
contain our perfect
love
                        St Teresa of Avila
_______________________________

He seemed so sure
“God says” he muttered
“God demands” he roared

as with face twisted with anger

ah

is that hate?

he spewed his words of condemnation
and exclusion

as if the Sacred could be
bound so tightly
contained in such a very small
small
package

his idea of God seemed so big
to this angry man
Pontificating

but then even a very small piece of God
Would seem big, wouldn’t it?

all concepts of God,
yes!
even ours,
are bound to be too small

we should be careful
when trying to contain
perfect
love
