when much is spake, little's heard

silent

the Word lept

one winter night

in fleshed response

to pleas soaked in blood

*Play, play, play while day has dawned cause night comes so quickly.

*...trying to make holy-sense out of the insane around us.

*"You're invited to sing the wrong song."

*Reflections of Alan Jones:

  -...a revered text like the Bible has the power to hurt and to heal, depending on the community holding the key of interpretation.

  -A flat, literalistic approach to the Bible-as-truth does damage both to the text and to those for whom it is the authority.

  -One of the great results in the pursuit of truth, however, is the unmasking of the ideas we take for granted.

  -It is a crucial element in our search for truth that we sometimes undermine the authority on concepts and constructs.

  -...the God of the Bible has a great deal to teach pilgrims of the truth, not least because much of it is written in Hebrew, a language well-suited to our journey since it is endlessly imprecise and unclear.
