Our

"our" is the possessive form of "we"
as Jesus spoke Father a-glow

we knew he spoke to us
but we keep speaking "mine"
as if deaf to anything ours
including God belonging to us

"we" are a truth abandoned
stilled by the selective tribes
as if god's only form for "us"

the possessive form of "we"
embraces the uniquely truth of "me"
and ev'ry form of "we" in "us"

thus God is ours
having Parented us
and we are God's
as God is ours
as we are each others
since God parents us
this day and ev'ry day



*Reflections of Jean Sulivan

-In the area of faith it is both vulgar and stupid to try prove anything. Fight for truth? Never. People fight for convictions in place of truth. Someone who genuinely loves the truth seeks only to let it fill her whole being.

-Don't try to change people's opinions or convert anybody.  Be what you are and perhaps someone else will be led to become what she is.  Adopt a genuine manner to tell us what moves you, without worrying about the consequences.  That's neither laziness nor amateurism, but a spontaneous self-discipline which has nothing in common with a party line.  It might better be compared with the constant practice of someone who wants to play in tune.
