It’s been a while.
We’ve been ok, just occupied with the challenges and joys of what life looks like for us at the moment. We’ve both spent time in reflection and contemplation, some solo and some in the company of our friends at Chichester Cathedral.
It’s a fruitful thing for us to do and for David has provided the incentive to write more poetry.
Being
Creation was the first incarnation,
Spirit begat energy and matter
Compressed and exploded
Beyond mortal explanation.
Entities belong in Being,
Intricately connected,
But humans are bought and brought
In Consciousness of All.
“Take eat, this is my body, broken for you,”
Thus are we directed.
The second incarnation
Confirmed by actualisation,
Eat, and acknowledge interconnection,
And drink His wine in memory
And re-enactment
Until Oneness returns.
We are forgiven, shriven,
As much as we forgive.
To truly know this
Love, contemplate,
And meditate.
Eating and drinking Bread
Is what we need,
To live.

Bwana Yesu asifiwe!
Thank you very much for your update and a wonderful poem that summarise the entire Bible and especially the complexity of BEING which cover almost all about humanity and that without God all is vanity. All the best as you meditate on God’s Word. Doing well with the entire family. Thanking God for everything. Greetings to your entire family. Mrirei
Asante rafiki yetu
