contention in the air

clouds call on the wind-song flying

loosely moving by whim-some laws

via hot and cold waves of of the morning

the sun and moon lights of night

the fury of tornadoes scream

with lightening on the quiet days

with adventures and grey might

at high levels taken in stride

the shapes formed by their blowing

are beheld by eyes of awe

thet're heard by ears of fear

'cause contention's in the air

*Up to Now

go

in

slow 

bow

know

Now

(Incarnate)

*Reflections of Alan Jones:

  -...part of self-knowledge is the acknowledgement of our soul-sickness.

  -...it is fatal to interpret Christianity as a program for self-improvement or self-fulfillment.  It is now, as it was then, a response in obedience to the God who calls us out of our lostness and pain into the light of (God's) future.  Believers are people who are always making new beginnings.
