Blah blah blah blah...

I'm a little tired this week, though I have no particular reason to be. While my mind and heart have been working overtime sending out letters in a bottle to God, my inclination to speak about them or share them has shrivelled. I trust this is temporary - I think it would require a major tear in the fabric of the universe to shut me up for long.

So, at the risk of closing what is already a smallish circle of bloggers, I really want to encourage everyone to take a look at beppeblog because our Friend is blogging really amazing stuff about the tsunami that is really speaking to me. I'll quote beppe quoting Tom Wright to give you a taste...he includes a link to the rest of the article in his entry:


"...it tells a story about Jesus's own sense of abandonment, and thereby encourages us to embrace the same sense of helpless involvement in the sorrow of the world, as the means by which the world is to be healed. Those who work for justice, reconciliation and peace will know that sense, and perhaps, occasionally, that healing.

This isn't the kind of answer that the Enlightenment wanted. But maybe, as we launch into the deep waters of another new year, it is the kind of vocation we ought to embrace in place of shallow analysis and shrill reaction."

Thanks for the tip about beppelog. It's a wonderful site. I'll add a link to it in my blog as well.
