Faith

I 
sit here 
waiting
on a balcony 
suspended
above it 
all.

I 
came out 
here 
for some 
quiet 
time.

I 
accidentally 
locked the 
door 
so I 
cannot 
get back 
in.

But I 
have faith 
that someone 
will come
to let me 
back 
in.

And 
she 
does.

O 
for the 
same 
attitude 
of peaceful 
waiting 
with 
regards to 
the One 
who 
opens 
the doors 
in my 
life.

Glitch

flights are grounded
my wings are clipped
i need to wait a little
longer to start this trip

my future connection
could be in jeopardy
it might be a while
before we're set free

the whims of the divine
are all part of the plan
my life's trajectory is
not in my hands

so i will wait patiently
for the Control Tower's nod
and match my flight to the wind of an all-knowing God

Pace

Often I find myself stuck
between the slow
and the fast,
fitting into neither,
stumbling,
never finding
a comfortable
pace.

I am impatient 
with those ahead of me, 
whose slow progress 
impedes my attempts 
to reach my destination.

I am angry at those 
pushing me from behind, 
so concerned with 
reaching their goal 
that I am just another 
obstacle in their way.

I must remember 
that at times I have 
been both.

It is the engine within, 
not the speed of those 
I encounter on the road, 
that drives me to anger 
and impatience.

O Divine Driver,
 Grant that I might have a
 more compassionate
 awareness on this
 journey.

What’s a skill you consider basic, that most people don’t actually know how to do?

I was overthinking today so thanks for the brainy question,👇👇

Patience isn't waiting without action. It's working every day while trusting the results will come.

It’s in the Blood

In 1539, a fugitive former-priest-turned-Anabaptist, in his seminal work “The Foundation,” penned the following words:

“Christ is our fortress; patience our weapon of defense; the Word of God our sword. …Iron and metal spears and swords we leave to those who, alas, regard human blood and swine’s blood of well-nigh equal value.”

So said Menno Simons, principal leader of the Protestant sect which then became known as the Mennonites.

More than 500 years later, his words still resound with a mighty truth.

At the risk of sounding morbid, it has to do with blood.

While Menno specifically refers to the difference between human blood and that of an animal, his larger point is the “value” we place on the blood of another.

My point is quite simple.

Killing will not end through education, conflict resolution, or disarmament, though all of these are important and can help. Killing will end only when there is a fundamental shift in the mind and heart of those who kill.

For how can you kill someone if you believe that their blood is just as valuable as your own?

Let’s call it – for lack of a better term – bloodism.

The other – their humanity, life, blood – is somehow less than I, and therefore, their humanity, life, blood, is not as valuable as my own. It becomes quite easy then to justify killing the other, ie. spilling his/her blood.

The directors of death throughout history from every nation, tribe and religion have understood and disseminated this concept quite well. A person (and those like him/her) is described as having the wrong beliefs, the wrong skin color, the wrong gender, the wrong age, the wrong station in life, the wrong land, the wrong possessions, the wrong clothing, the wrong language —- the wrong blood. These others are not as valued as you are, the leaders of the macabre scream, though they couch their speech in terms such as vigilance, freedom, history, security, and truth.

Then the killing begins.

The Nazis did it to the Jews. Israelis do it to the Palestinians. Hutus did it to the Tutsis. Shiite do it to the Sunni. Palestinians do it to the Israelis. Sunni do it to the Shiite. Muslims do it to the Christians. Christians do it to the Muslims. This country does it to that country. That neighborhood does it to this neighborhood. This race does it to that race. That religion does it to this religion.

And any one of a million other combinations.

STOP!

Do not allow your mind and heart to be filled with bloodism.

We are made in the image of God.

ALL of us.

And that divine DNA resides in the very marrow of our bones and flows through our veins.

It’s in the blood.

The Silver Strand

returning 
to the car 
i see
a silver strand 
intent on 
capturing me
 
i was gone 
but a moment 
yet the spider 
did spin
from the mirror 
across the window 
to lure 
me in
 
it seems 
this small one 
dreams of 
bigger prey
so too I 
if to my path 
I stay

this bit 
of web 
is a 
flimsy thing
but if 
I cast 
it not
i snare 
nothing

@LisaWarnerLisaLuv HI - If I may suggest:

- 1 line of emoji's (not 2)
- Separate emoji line from the text line

(this reads better than trying to find the text inside so many emoji's, some of which are duplicates)

How does that sound ? (see example format below)...

La paix du christianisme

Chez les chrétiens, la paix, eirēnē en grec, héritière du shalom hébraïque, porte cette même idée de plénitude, mais elle est redéfinie autour d’un événement central, soit l’incarnation, la croix et la personne du Christ comme Prince de la Paix.

Le trait le plus distinctif de la paix chrétienne est qu’elle n’est pas d’abord une réalisation ou une conquête spirituelle, mais un don gratuit reçu du Christ : « Je vous laisse la paix, je vous donne ma paix ; je ne vous la donne pas comme le monde la donne ». Cette précision « pas comme le monde la donne » est capitale : elle distingue une paix qui ne dépend pas des circonstances extérieures issues de l’absence de conflit, la sécurité et le confort, mais d’une paix qui subsiste même au cœur de la tribulation.

Pour Paul, la paix chrétienne a une structure double, elle est verticale par la réconciliation de l’humanité avec Dieu, rendue possible par la croix, qui répare la rupture introduite par le péché. Elle est horizontale par la réconciliation entre les humains eux-mêmes.

La paix n’est donc jamais purement intérieure, elle est intrinsèquement relationnelle et communautaire, comme dans le judaïsme, mais elle passe ici par la médiation d’une personne plutôt que par l’étude et la justice seules.

Ainsi, la paix figure parmi les fruits de l’Esprit, aux côtés de l’amour, de la joie, de la patience. Cette catégorisation est significative. Un fruit ne se fabrique pas par la seule volonté, il mûrit d’une vie déjà greffée à une source plus grande. La paix chrétienne suppose donc une transformation intérieure progressive plutôt qu’une technique ou une discipline maîtrisable. On devient faiseur de paix, dont une paix agissante, comparable au radaf shalom juif ou la générosité et noblesse de cœur soufie.

Chez les Pères du désert et les mystiques chrétiens, la paix se rapproche de la libération des passions désordonnées qui permet au cœur de se rendre disponible à la prière incessante. On y trouve une parenté frappante avec le nirvāṇa bouddhiste ou l’ataraxia stoïcienne, bien que la finalité reste ici l’union avec un Dieu personnel plutôt que l’extinction du désir en soi.

Dans le sillage plus contemporain, par exemple Simone Weil, la paix chrétienne se comprend aussi comme attention, un consentement au réel, une disponibilité totale qui suspend le vouloir-saisir de l’ego. Cette paix rejoint, par un autre chemin, l’approche soufi, par un abandon actif plutôt qu’une résignation.

Enfin, comme dans le judaïsme, le christianisme porte un horizon de paix cosmique et définitive avec le Royaume de Dieu. Mais la théologie chrétienne insiste sur une tension propre : cette paix est déjà et pas encore, inaugurée par le Christ, mais non encore pleinement accomplie, ce qui donne à l’existence chrétienne une qualité d’attente active, ni pur retrait contemplatif ni simple militantisme historique.

En somme, la paix chrétienne se situe à un carrefour singulier parmi les traditions que nous avons parcourues. Comme le judaïsme, elle refuse de séparer paix et justice, et l’inscrit dans l’histoire. Comme le soufisme, elle passe par l’abandon amoureux et la médiation d’un Dieu personnel. Comme le bouddhisme, elle implique une libération des passions et de l’agitation intérieure. Toutefois, c’est une personne, non un principe ou un vide, qui est la paix, et qui la donne plutôt qu’elle ne se conquiert.

Dans un monde où tout le monde parle de paix, est-ce que nous avons la même conception de celle-ci? Est-ce que les écarts expliqueraient en partie les conflits qui perdurent?

Did I see a wasp (mud dauber?) carry a caterpillar and stuff it into the nest it's building on my window?

Yes I did.

Did I set up my camera to photograph it?

Yes I did.

Has the wasp returned?

Nope.
