I mean, are you kidding me? One of our fellow human beings, a poor Jewish preacher from a backwater town, is also actually God the Son. What incredible dignity we must have as a species! But also what condescending grace God must have!

I don't think y'all fully get it (me neither): God--as in the infinite, incomprehensible Source and Cause and Ground of literally everything that exists--became a man on this third rock from the sun because of his intimate, personal love for every human being he made.

If of melancholic disposition, develop enduring love for trees outside of office windows.

If you ask @LorenzoVallaluv to send you pictures of the sea, she does. This is what friends are for.

Any of my early modernist friends/associates/followers working, or aware of anything on, ideas about neighbourless in the sixteenth century?

My beloved cathedral is in terrible trouble, and I keep thinking about the elderly lady who came through the door in a wheelchair this morning to put £200 in the donation box

If you tend to enjoy when I share my poems on here, would you like to receive an occasional email with a selection of my poems? I'm working on getting a collection published, and am still submitting to journals etc, but I'd like to share my work in the meantime with some readers.
