Such a small god

Such a small god
Who does for you
Magic tricks

Such a small god
Who keeps you
Feeling Guilty

Such a small god
Who invites you to heaven
After this life only

And yet you see:
We are among God;
We are called to invest ourselves in others’ lives;
There is a heaven we are called to work toward which is not here yet

The individual as the gold standard

The gold standard in much of our life in this culture, especially in the care of those approaching death, is the individual. What does that individual want? Yet each of us is made up of many of us: our parents, teachers, friends, neighbors, work mates, speakers, strangers, and even our children and grandchildren—all who have been touched by us and all by whom we have been touched. The true individual is this web of life. This is what we cannot divide, that from which we cannot ourselves cut off.
