Footprints in the Wind^sm # 873

We can listen for G*d
In the very atmosphere
—Atmosphere beyond air’s molecules—
In which we move
If G*d is not a person
Our antennae alert
To being, living, loving
—Ours and mine and G*d’s—
Swirling, rustling so gently
By ears almost heard

Please pass it on.

This is not community—your doing for others. This is you feeling better about yourself, salving you guilt. If they cannot do for themselves and this is your best guess of what this one needs, then you have come nearer. Community flows in all directions.

How is what I am doing “the dismantling of the empire in its social practices and in its mythic pretensions?” (Walter Brueggemann, The Prophetic Imagination, p 9)

:- Doug.

There is an alternative to the culture which enmeshes us.

:- Doug.

The pictures and stories of our culture
Saying this is the only way life can be
And the ones of possibility
Are both forms of imagination
Saying We have a choice

:- Doug.
