“ In nicey-nicey land, you must be happy-clappy and positive all the time - bad news is taboo. ”
It is at Easter that Jesus is most human, and like all humans, he fails and is failed. His is not an all-powerful God, it is an all-vulnerable God.
~ Michael Leunig
God help us to live slowly:To move simply:To look softly:To allow emptiness:To let the heart create for us.Amen.
When the heartIs cut or cracked or brokenDo not clutch itLet the wound lie openLet the windFrom the good old sea blow inTo bathe the wound with saltAnd let it sting.Let a stray dog lick itLet a bird lean in the hole and singA simple song like a tiny bellAnd let it ringLet it go.Let it out.Let it all unravel.Let it free and it can beA path on which to travel.
