The Gap

8/8/2013

God's presence is in the absence,
The shaped emptiness that shows
Where He and She, was.

Leaving us, alone?
To ponder the gap.

Trying to patch it
With theology,
Cover it with rites,
or asserting that,
fundamentally,
there's no gap at all.

Waiting for those times
we are sure enough
That our humanness can fill it,
Shaped into the space God has left.

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.
