Sin, missing the mark is a blessing. Sin more greatly then! But do it consciously, notice where the sin takes you, what and whom you meet. Work it out for good. For this time and place. Then go out of your way. Jesus wiped away our sins because he showed us they don’t matter and they do matter. They don’t matter to worry about, to feel guilty and anxious about. They do matter because without them we do not progress, the kingdom is slowed. Do not fear: sin more greatly!

We are not nouns. We are not even verbs. We are adjectives: we modify and change each other and what we thought were our selves. The way to do that is to be present—in time and place—going out of our way, place and time.

Love is present. Love goes out of the ways to be present. Goes out of its way and out of the way.

No one of us has the answers; together something beyond the inter-triggering of all of us can show up—in his breath.

To our good friends–

Yesterday I took a fast from words: no speaking them; no hearing them; no reading; no writing; and hardest of all, no thinking them. When I first started, as I was going to bed Friday night, there was fire! from 1 am till about 5 am. Images, sounds, movements came flying. It seemed that the words had been getting in the way: in the way of G*d and people and the universe. There is certainly more out there to meet than words, and getting them out of the way opened the floodgates for this fire.
