"I'm going to speak to you simply as a pastor, as one who, together with his people, has been learning the beautiful but harsh truth that the Christian faith does not cut us off from the world but immerses us in it; the church is not a fortress set apart from the city. The church follows Jesus, who lived, worked, struggled, and died in the midst of a city, in the polis."

- Archbishop Oscar Romero

You must give birth to your images.

They are the future waiting to be born.

Fear not the strangeness you feel.

The future must enter you

long before it happens.

Just wait for the birth,

For the hour of new clarity.

 

-Rainer Maria Rilke

Ok, since I'm woefully behind on my VisualLife project, now for something completely different: peacocks! Friendly strolling neighborhood peacocks. Yes, this is a strange place. Middle provides the commentary.

you are gentle with us as a mother with her children.

Despair turns to hope through your sweet goodness;
through your gentleness we find comfort in fear.

Your warmth gives life to the dead;
your touch makes sinners righteous.

Lord Jesus, in your mercy heal us;
in your love and tenderness remake us.

In your compassion bring grace and forgiveness;
for the beauty of heaven may your love prepare us.

--Anselm (1109)
as found in the Church of England's Common Worship: Daily Prayer book

During the Sunday morning worship, our Eldest wrote down the words "Rev Ben" on 2 different pieces of paper...and Dr Ben on this one also. Not sure what this means for his future, but I know he's already thinking about it...
