I now live in a strange world where I have passed beyond the gate and its keepers. The walls that used to protect me have fallen, and the wondrous expanse before me cannot harm me. The singular and special place where I received sustenance has spread across the whole realm. And I hunger and thirst no more. I wrote this little meditation today. The image is of a sculpture I did a couple of years ago called “Shelter“. It is... Read more
I have worked for other ministries, pastors and religious leaders. I’ll give you a warning: when they say, “This is my advice“, they usually mean, “These are my orders!” It is inappropriate to give orders in the church, ministries, and most religious movements or organizations anymore.

This is my own idea and only suggest this. I hope you find it helpful. Knowledge... Read more

Something I learned in public school that is being confirmed in my adult life: if you color outside the lines you will Fail! What will you fail? You will fail to please the authorities, the conformists and the fearful. You must conform! Thinking outside of the box is punishable by “F“! Rules are important. We need them. But sometimes they are used... Read more
Language is often used not just to articulate our mysterious world, but to control it. No matter how fearsome the Other is that we encounter, as long as we can name It we can to some extent control It, or at least control our own fears of It.
