Sherlock: “I’ve lived most of my life with the firm conviction that romantic love is an illusion. It is a futile hedge against the existential terror that is our own singularity… …I feel liberated. I am now and forever post-love, and, as such, I am free to pursue a life of meaning.”
Holmes: “I think it’s sad you’ve given up. I think you have a lot to share if you cared to. You shouldn’t be the only one who knows you.”
While I was away Ched had me reading Maori prayers everynight from the English-Maori NZ Liturgy 1970 – thought I’d have a play reading one of our favs aloud, pic is from a spot along the Wellington City to Sea walk, and the background is a recording of birds singing from silver beech trees in Abel Tasman National Park (thank you to the Dept of Conservation).
This is a picture of a sand dollar which we picked up in the car park of a garden nursery (not sure how it got there!). Similar to snowflakes and fingerprints each one is said to be unique…
Mum sent through this whakatauki today (Maori proverb) that she uses in her kindergarten. These were her words for me as her child, an encouragement of my specialness and value as a one-of-a-kind individual. Just want to share the positive affirmation –
You are important. What you have to say, what you think and what you feel are important and worthwhile.
kia maumahara ki toou mana aahua ake
cherish your absolute uniqueness
Four responses often overlooked:
- Exercise critical literacy in the social, economic and political geography we inhabit as church, proclaiming God’s sovereignty in ways that engage/challenge the entities that tend to rule our minds, hearts and societies;
- Understand that the gospel is first supposed to represent “good news for the poor”, and socially locating accordingly;
- Discern what it means to “go after big fish” today;
- Reach out to both victims and oppressors (restorative justice, building community across social boundaries)
(case in point the “Occupy” movement)
Full recording of the webinar should be available at www.chedmyers.org in a few days…
To you
I have given
I want to be with you
along the way you have chosen
To work
to flow the vital current of my life
towards our high vision.
To be about you
holding your being that I have not yet touched
near to the untouched hiddenness of me.
I need the wonder of you
that I have known
on magnificent mornings
to be fresh upon me;
and the smell of summer
to be in my blood;
and the lark-song that we have heard
on dry hot days on mountains
to beat in me
forever.
Eithne Strong
