TO LOVE IS CHRIST


Reckless and barefooted

But to all who did accept him and believe in him he gave the right to become children of God. John 1:12 NCV

ONCE THE WORLD was as big as wonder was easy. We bolted down our halls reckless and barefooted. Adventure and exploration filled us with something electric. Innocence was mischievous and sacred. Things that seem so small to us now provoked the endless question 'why?' And we were not then afraid to ask.

May wonder return to you again, childlike, fearless, primal, charged with originality and daring, the stuff of ecstasy and awe, evidence of the divine, wonder that made it easy to believe. May you begin to ask the questions you asked in a more curious time, in an uncivilized time, before the rod of our corrections transformed everything, that cut our playtime short, a time before we began to forget.

In Christ, my fellowship with Wonder, Amen



May you be unsettled with wonder. May it come like love itself,
timeless, without conditions, innocent, playful, pure, uncivilized,
sacred, reckless and barefooted.
