The idea of mutual
unconditional love is definitely a vote looser to those who prize immediate
success above everything else, which in today’s modern western society appears
to be just about everyone (or at least according to the media, everyone that
matters).
The ultimate truth is all
about the last being first "unless you are like this little child" -
always trusting, always learning, and always making mistakes.
And now for the poetry...........
Hard Rubbish
Forgiveness is like a hard
rubbish collection
We must put on the kerb
All the things we collect
daily
Or by the hour
Or by the minute
Or by the second
And let go of them
completely
And immediately
If we clutter up the present
moment
With the past
Or the future
We lose it
But it's not easy to do
The vagaries of life
Hang round in the
unconscious
Like an inconvenient
unpleasant odor
That we tend to blame on
others
Or on God
Or the devil
And blame is
counterproductive
Even blaming ourselves
Is only a hole to fall into
Repentance is not about
blame
It's about resurrection
And the fall
Can only be understood
In the light of the cross
And it's aftermath
