Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1366

Our society is in pain
& since our society now practically spans the world
the same pain is expressed everywhere:
violence, robbery, murder, rape, war, terror
we scream, we yell at one another, we see the other as threat
we try to force the other into our mold, into the old ways
all explodes—
and yet…
we are in times of great flux
the perturbance is getting larger, the swings wilder, the ride more frightening
even the ground, the oceans and the weather are shifting
the old, the reliable, the comfortable are going away
(are we too?)
something new (which we protest) is approaching
birth

Please pass it on.

God is coming down
to meet us, soak us
drop by drop
thousands by the second
a car splashes gallons against our windows
a father walks in carrying a multi-hued finger painting

:- Doug.

We are a gathering
of friends
on this ball
in the middle of space
surrounded befriended embraced
by a host
of each other

:- Doug.

What do you mean, Doesn’t believe in God? Meaning God as we define—image—God? Doesn’t have faith means what? Faith in our list of things to believe, that is, to do?

:- Doug.
