Abusive Relationships

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

No peace ever disturbed my sleep.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

It might stretch beyond our ability to comprehend, but life is a miracle. It might seem natural, but it reaches beyond natural, as we know natural, to supernatural. Its depth and breadth and time span dwarfs and warps any kind of “natural” that we can mean by that word. Your cosmos found a way to bring life into being beyond any natural events. You found a way to evolve humans into existence, beyond anything that could have been expected naturally. Your brought me, uniquely, into this divine process, and I can but wonder and give thinks.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Sounds good to me: fireworks for the Passover celebration.”

D. Blog: Abusive Relationships

Earth does much more for us that we do for her. Trees do more for us than we can possibly do for them. Rivers do more for us than we do for them. Air is more important to us than we are to it. And so on. These sustain us far more than we maintain them. They sacrifice for us and we take advantage of them. They enable our existence and we behave as if they can do so without limit. Among humans this is known as an abusive relationship.
