Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1292

“Together we are strong” read a large banner about Newtown. We can understand the sentiment, but I would rather say, Together we are weak. There are times it is good to mourn, to cry, to be powerless. The times are better when we do so together. Powering through is not what I want or need. A tragedy of such moment brings us together in a way that strength cannot.

Please pass it on.

Uncertainty is all we have

Complications are not—
Complexity is—simplicity

Be still
Still be

:- Doug.

Jesus died upon the cross to let me see I must die upon my cross for love’s sake—& that it is both easy and difficult to die so, uplifting & pain-filled, killing & fulfilling. Our biggest sins are to walk past our opportunities to love, & for the forgiveness of this & the calling to the surpassing of this, Jesus died.

Bearing with one another
The burdens of our divine humanity
The elations of our falling shorts
