Echtscheiding in Romeins Judea
Ik ben geen voorstander van niet-authentiek beeldmateriaal, maar ik heb bij het blogje van vandaag niks beters dan Abraham die Hagar verstoot.Het is een waarheid als een koe: waar twee culturen contact maken, nemen ze zaken van elkaar over. Dat geldt dus ook voor de Joodse cultuur, waar ik op zondag altijd over blog, en de Grieks-Romeinse cultuur, die momenteel aandacht krijgt in de Week van de Klassieken. Van Romeins-Joods cultuurcontact zijn allerlei voorbeelden en een speculatief voorbeeld schoot me vorige week te binnen: echtscheiding.
Joodse echtscheidingen
Een van de hardste gegevens over de leer van Jezus van Nazaret is zijn afwijzing van scheiding. Die is heel breed gedocumenteerd: Marcus 10.2-9 is een voorbeeld, de Bergrede bevat een ander.noot Matteüs 5.32. Het verbod is ook te vinden bij de apostel Paulus.noot Romeinen 7.2-6. We hebben dus documentatie uit minimaal drie bronnen: Marcus, Q en Paulus. Het zal bovendien niet in een Joodse context zijn verzonnen, aangezien het een breuk vormt met het gangbare jodendom. Echtscheiding was immers toegestaan, zij het met regels. De procedure rond de echtscheidingsbrief staat beschreven in Deuteronomium.noot Deuteronomium 24.1-4 en 21.14, 22.29.. De uitwerking van die regels staat in het Mishna-traktaat Gittin.
Jezus’ afwijzing van echtscheiding hing niet in het luchtledige. Ook de sekte van de Dode-Zee-rollen had er moeite mee, met als argument dat wie veel vrouwen heeft, ook zijn joodse geloof zou verliezen. Dat had koning Salomo immers bewezen.
Romeinse echtscheidingen
Maar wellicht is er een tweede reden waarom Jezus tegen echtscheiding was. Ik verzin die, maar het is niet onmogelijk dat er in zijn tijd een toename was van het aantal echtscheidingen, omdat dit onder het Romeinse recht heel eenvoudig was. In de Romeinse wereld kon een scheiding tot stand komen zonder formaliteiten, eenvoudigweg doordat de twee partners stopten met gemeenschappelijk leven. Dat kon met wederzijdse goedkeuring gebeuren, of doordat een van de twee partners wegging.
Ik kan het niet bewijzen, maar het zou me niet verbazen als iemand nog eens aantoonde dat er met de komst van Rome in de Joodse wereld meer echtscheidingen waren. Waar twee culturen contact maken, nemen ze zaken van elkaar over: dat is een waarheid als een koe. En het is ook een waarheid als een koe dat als de leden van twee culturen elkaar kennen, ze elkaars gebruiken kunnen afwijzen.

I've not posted this image on any other platform as yet, I guess I will tomorrow.
I don't think my husband (the photographer) has even got it on our website.
#Gurnard on the #IsleofWight is well known for it's sunsets. This isn't a particularly colourful one but the light was lovely.
I remember chatting to a man down there about cameras and winging it a bit while Steve was busy doing all the work!

Flash Fiction Friday – The Fatherhood War
June 13, 2023, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about fathers in general or a specific father. You can use different names — Papa, Daddy, Fabio. What is significant about a father? Write a homage, rant, comedy, tragedy, or anything in between. Go where the prompt leads! See ‘June 13: Story Challenge in 99-words‘ for more details.
The Fatherhood War – by Hugh W. Roberts
In a whirlwind of chaos, a father attempted to conquer the art of nappy changing.
Armed with wipes and a nappy that seemed to defy logic, he engaged in an epic battle against a giggling, wiggling baby. Hilariously mismatched socks were his battle armour, and a superhero cape decked his shoulders.
As he bravely dodged tiny feet, the father’s face turned into comical distortions. With a triumphant cry, he emerged victorious, the nappy expertly secured.
But, alas, victory was short-lived, for a naughty giggle signalled an incoming surprise attack. In the war of fatherhood, laughter was the ultimate weapon.
Written for the 99-word flash fiction challenge hosted by Charli Mills at the Carrot Ranch.

The other day I walked past a couple who were sitting in the grass with three dogs: a bulldog, a husky, and a fluffy white dog.
They were scolding the bulldog for teasing his sister, a husky who was wiggling around and not paying attention. The bulldog cocked his head and listened.
I have no idea if he actually understood them, but I love seeing people speak to their pets as if the pets can understand everything. It’s delightful. #Today #Dogs #TOParks

CW: Dream work, dream contains injury, gore, cats
I haven't done much dream work in a long time, but the skills are still there when I have a viscerally-felt dream with obvious symbols. Not much of this one is encoded at all.
I was back at my mom's place. Everything was chaos, like it was. And I was the only one managing it all, like I did. There were two new strays popping up in succession, kittens, grey tabbies. I kept putting them outside and they kept getting in. I picked one up, and it scratched me.
Here's the squicky injury part. It scratched the inner side of my index finger, wide open, my meats bulging, even pushing out of the cut. Not even much blood, just chonky muscles pushing out.
Nevertheless, I picked the cat up and managed it. It was wriggling so much. Though overwhelmed, I felt confident, like I've got this. Like this is more of the same, resigned, and not as bad as yesterday, and I'll put off my own wounds until everything else is settled. (Another feeling I often had in that house.)
To stop it from wiggling and scratching, I instinctively grabbed its paw with my other hand and squeezed, gently at first, then just enough to hurt, until it stopped wiggling. (I doubt this would work to calm a cat irl, though I've tried this before while trying to communicate to a cat that scratching people is bad, and have gotten through to them.)
Then I was able to put it outside, but as I did, it turned white, starting at the head. By the time I sat it down, it was white all over. And older. The other kitten turned white, too, though maybe only halfway.
Then I set about trying to fix this injury. I was mostly concerned with the fact that I was spilling out of this cut. I just needed to stop that and get back to solving the other problems. But I couldn't find the bandaids in any of the usual places.
Meanwhile, my mom and my son were coming at me with distractions that were far more insistent. I didn't even need to fully fix my finger, just get it stuffed back in before it "got out of hand." But their needs kept coming first. There were more cats running around the house, too.
I finally found a bandaid and the cut turned back into a normal scratch as I wrapped it tightly. The dream went on, but I forget it.
The surface meaning is really obvious to me, though if I could remember more details, I'm sure there was more to it. (The more dream journaling you do, the more detail you'll remember in future dreams.)
Overall, it represents my struggle to "keep myself together" at that place. Literally "together," "juggling cats" (problems) while putting off attending to my own painful, distracting injury.
I'm not sure why the cat turned white. That seems significant and I'll be pondering it. The key there will be to finding the deeper symbolism to what a "cat" means in this dream. There were so many of them where they should not be.
You'll notice some puns and figures of speech showing up in my description. Puns are important in dreams, and they often point directly to the meaning of the symbols (which can often have multiple meanings). This is why for dream work, writing them down is important, because sometimes how we phrase the description will instantly reveal what it means.
This technique can be helped with asking questions, then abstracting the answer to apply it elsewhere.
How did the cat make you feel while you held it? "Frustrated, struggling, careful." What in your life at that time made you feel frustrated, struggling, careful?" Well, back then? Everything.
If you were the cat in your hands, what do you want? "I want to be free."
Ok, ouch, there it is. A strong feeling tells me that's the answer.
But I am free now. And maybe that's why it turned white.
