The Cost Of Breathing

for G.F.

 

Where is the air, I cannot breathe?
The weight of this world is too heavy.
It’s a suffocating frenzy
Of people in need.

Like the King, my name will be upon the lips of many –
a flaming arrow that will blister the ears of those unwilling to hear.
No matter how far or near
They are our enemy.

When I cannot breathe, I cannot speak
But my lack of breath speaks for me.
It sets my name as a fiery flame
Upon the lips of the streets.

As my final tear streaks down my cheek
Upward, I slowly abscond
That upon my final breath
Silence shall be my song.

EMBRACING THE ABSURD: the problem of ABSOLUTES and the promise of SUBJECTIVITY

Objectivity confines God to a box that He did not create. It limits God to simple-minded systems and concepts that He destroys. Jesus did not come to get rid of the Law – there was in fact nothing wrong with the Law. He came to destroy the system around it. He did not come to bring insurance, but assurance. He did not come to bring certainty, but gave us the privilege of experiencing his mystery.
