Agape

Is it possible to live
in this right way?

Open heartedly, caring
For all the same?

Loving every stranger
As my own skin?

Is it possible, truly
To love like this?

Not fearing the deep closeness
Of Agape.

Could the holy openness
Endure viewing

The gaping wounds of life,
Inflicted evil,

The relentless replay of
Cain and Abel?

Would this not be a living
crucifixion

of loving kindness? Nailed
by bloodsoaked news

Transfixed to the cross of
powerless love?

A quick look at the 'blogosphere' shows that the nature of the medium means it is all too easy for a 'blog' to convey the impression that its compiler is, at best, self-indulgent and verbose, and at worst, a narcissistic bore. Religious blogs are by no means immune from this.

However, while I shall try to avoid sharing my each and every passing thought with you, there is a use for a space for shorter, more ephemeral pieces of writing, and on this website, that's here. These pieces are likely to be frequently revised, sometimes rewritten and occasionally removed.
