1994

If everything on earth were rational nothing would happen.
from the Brothers Karamazou.

The great writer C.S. Lewis (Cambridge 1961) in his book Experiment in Criticism
wrote:-
Like a night sky in the Greek poem, I see with myriad eyes, but it is still I who see.
Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never
more myself than when I do.

1994
And you open the door to my heart,
deep wounds of rejection healed for all time.
Forgiveness filters sunshine through the darkness,
and my soul sings.

Letterbox missionaries touch the weary
in this land steeped in materialism and self.
Children of the greed culture, never satisfied,
walk blindly past your beauty,
their mentors silent and senile.

The flickering flame ignites,
souls burning with passion reach out in love,
their message peace and hope in your Kingdom to come.
Brother carrying brother homeward.
