I am a wanderer. I would say that I am a seeker, but sometimes I have no idea what I might be seeking, so I will stick with wanderer. This blog is more a public journal than anything. I don't claim to have life figured out. I simply stumble from mystery to mystery, and share my reflections along the way. Sometimes I feel burdened, and trudge. Sometimes? Well sometimes grace breaks through, and its time to dance.

Missing the point
Never invoke the gods unless you really want them to appear.
It annoys them very much.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
-----------------------------------------------------------
the Sacred One can be so inconvenient
it seems he wants to turn the world upside down
it seems he wants to turn me upside down
now what is it about that?
it is so wonderful to be right
It is so amazing to be “a winner” in life
this game we play of domination
is so convenient
if you are in power
if you have money
if you have position and privilege
if you can present yourself as righteous and holy
but it is not so convenient…
for the poor
those afflicted by mental illness
for immigrants
or minorities
or even most women
and when domination is flaunted by those in the government
and when domination is embraced by those who would call
themselves ‘christian’
the insult to Christ is magnified
Christ calls us to union with God
Christ calls us into communion with one another
Christ’s way is about giving, forgiving
Christ’s way is about serving
He showed us the way
there in the dirt
washing feet
what it looks like to be fully awake to God
Think of that, God in the dirt
Washing feet
I’d like to see the President
Or a congressman
In the dirt
washing feet
Hell, I’d settle for a little compassion
I’d like to see the CEO who makes $10,000 an hour
washing the feet of that worker who makes $7 some an hour
Hell, I’d settle for a little equality
even a little
how about $15 an hour
I know, I know, the “job creator” would make only $9,990 an
hour
but I am sure such a sacrifice would be acceptable to the
Beloved
I like to see a mega-church pastor wash some feet
You know
Before they board that private jet and head back their
mansion
Heck, I’d settle for a little Gospel
a little good news
I can’t even escape the revolution myself
there are so many ways in which my life needs to be turned
upside down
the reality is Jesus looks on
and says
as the legislators legislate their version of morality
as the choirs sing
and the preachers preach
and the righteous strut
“what the hell is this!”
so many say
“come Lord Jesus”
do they really want that?
Really?
