Correct doctrine
gets you nowhere
unless your heart is changed.
The Devil’s doctrine is impeccable.
Grace and peace to you…

Seeing and Un-seeing
There are things seen
that can’t be unseen
Some we sought
others were just there
along the path
Still others had nothing to do with us
with our search;
they pleasantly surprised us
or were violently thrust upon us
Let’s take care
what we seek
the paths we search
Let’s take care, too
the sights we attend to
the ones we let wither
the ones we beg for mercy
to unsee
Grace and peace to you…

Navalny
(In memory of Alexei Navalny)
A light too bright
for a land living in darkness
for the heavy-lidded eyes holding power
A brilliance beyond the imagination
of dull minds and threatened souls
incapable of anything
beyond deception and violence
to hold their place in the world
A beacon of hope
healing the sick at heart
raising the dead-spirited
proclaiming freedom to the captives
Look! Look at the crowds!
Grace and peace to you…

Love and Justice
When Love leads, Justice follows.
Judgement without compassion is the Devil's work.
Grace and peace to you…

Nothing New
There is nothing new under the sun.
What we bemoan now we bemoaned seventy years ago
Seven hundred years ago
What we give away now, we gave away then
The freedom Jesus promised
To burn at the stake
To defy a tank
To hang on the cross
For the truth

p.s.
I posted this earlier in response to a quote from Thomas Merton about how we are so inclined to go along with whatever group(s) we want to belong to.
Nothing New (2022)
This time, I’ll add another quote:
“You are a king then? ” Pilate asked.
“You say that I’m a king,” Jesus replied. “I was born for this, and I have come into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
“What is truth? ” said Pilate.Gospel of John, chapter 18. Christian Standard Bible. CSB Reader’s Bible (p. 1603). B&H Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.
Grace and peace to you…
