Selective Hearing
We live in a world full of flaming individualists,
flailing consciences lashing out everywhere
except where it really counts!
It’s that individualistic ear,
at once so very deaf and yet
so quick to hear!
Deaf when thunder sounds towards us
but oh so sensitive to all offense
or lightning lash at others!
This is perhaps why the prophets had to weep
and yell so loudly. We might be listening…
but only for someone else.
Our selective hearing leaves us dull
and blind and deaf to everything
except the symphony of self.
And yet the words still echo
down canyons of time
Prepare Ye The Way of the Lord!
HA! How does one do that!?
Prepare the roads for God?
How does anyone do that?!
Make straight the paths of God?
What does that even mean? Roads?
Make Straight? Prepare…
Can you picture men and women
preparing roads *effective roads*
that bring God down to earth…
Bring God down to earth,
and who needs that more?
Them or us?
Prepare Ye The Way of the Lord!
Make Their Paths Straight!
All the great promises, early/late,
reversals we anticipate
fulfilled because Their Presence here?
Beauty springing from the ash
Mourning turned to lively dancing
Waters flow from wilderness
Streams cascading from the deserts.
swords beaten into plowshares
spears transformed to pruning hooks,
wolves lying down to sleep
in fields with soft and peaceful sheep
and lions and lambs in love knee deep
justice rolling down like waters
and righteousness ever-flowing streams
the desert blossoming like dreams
the blind seeing
the lame at dance
the lowly lifted up
the hungry filled up with good things
the Road of God, my heart still sings
when I can hear that cry so clear
May we be cured, delivered from
our terminal affliction

Note: I am posting this as an fyi, and I expect that you will read this and parse it for yourself. My posting it here is not necessarily an endorsement of any specific person/lifestyle choice, etc.
Rather, it is in the interest of educating you that there are far more variations in that gender spectrum rainbow that stretches between those 2 poles of humanity’s gender, female and male.
- what does “cisgender” mean?
- what does “transgender” mean?
- what does “genderqueer” mean?
- what does “non-binary” mean?
- in-depth interview with a non-binary genderqueer person about their identity
- what does “intersex” mean?
- but how does the psychology community feel about trans people?
- why is it hard for trans people to access medical care?
- other various terms, and some more
Pressure & Time
Geology is the study
of pressure and time.
That’s all it takes, really…
Psychology is the study
of pressure and thought.
That’s all a function, really…of
pressure and time.
Theology is the study
of pressure and Word.
That’s all it took, really…and
pressure and time.
My heart is the study
of pressure and grace
occurring in space
pressure and time.
flowing thru time
possessed by the Word
thoughts under pressure
pressure and time.
inhabiting Word
Gethsemane sleeps
and diamonds…at last.
