Year C - Ash Wednesday or Self-Recognition Day
February 10, 2016
Isn’t it amazing how we are so willing to live out of fear. Somehow a creative spirit we are partnered with and who travels with us beyond an innocence of Eden is turned into an engine of despair and terror. What we project onto G*D says much more about our disappointment in losing privilege than it does with a partnering G*D.
When G*D comes near, darkness, not light, is the predominant image? Really?
A G*D large enough to create and share with us is now imaged as a counter of beans and one who requires groveling before welcoming? Really?
This G*D has to be bribed with a threat that G*D will be mocked if we don’t get to set the terms of renewal of relationship? Really?
For such as these, we need to repent what we have done to our relationship. Lies such as these don’t bridge our felt gap. Really!
