Mountain Glory

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

The logic of killing for peace escapes me…

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Breathtaking, wonder-full, word-defying – just a “typical” mountain view. Earth rises in her glory, reminds us of our humble and dependent place, and inspires us to flights of imagination and heights of attentiveness that invite/lead us to acknowledge your presence.

I pity those who seldom see mountains. How hard it must be, I imagine, for them to know you when their landscape is flat or dominated by human structures. How hard, too, for them to attain a realistic identity in relation to Earth and to you.

Let us look to the mountains…
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“I hear that someone has written something called '101 Sex Tricks to Try Before You Die.' 101!! - and I never even got to first base.”

[We all have to make sacrifices, but He never said this.]

It is no small thing
To pray for peace, when
All of life depends on it
