too perfect

We humans are too caught up in making things perfect. Look at our antennas: dishes and bow ties, perfectly straight or exactly circular edges, nothing sticking out, parallel lines or radiating lines. Now look at a tree, how G*d puts it together: a seed, a star to reach toward, a breeze to collect food and pollen from, and a whisper, Grow. What we get are branches and leaves turning every which way, things sticking out, no perfect edges, no straight lines, pure creativity and desire to touch.

Gather persons

Gather persons
“What do you see?”
break the preoccupation with the grey overcast
ask their help
“What can we do?”

Hesitating

Footprints in the Windsm # 726

Lean forward
listen intently
not for what God says
through this person’s lips
(people are not tools to any real God)
but to the soul
beginning to speak
his or her life
this
is
God
