Going to be offline for a bit... So to keep all my faithful readers (all 3 of you) entertained in my absence, I've scheduled a few posts in advance... Some are bits and pieces linked to the lectionary readings for the next few weeks, some are videos that I've previously shared on fb but are worth another look... if only to put a smile on your face... Starting with this one. Last week I posted a couple of videos for dog lovers, of which I am not one... This one however, is for all you cat lovers out there. I'm currently thinking of jacking in my membership of that club as well, for reasons I will not bore you with here, and if I had this cat to deal with I definitely would...
Don't often post other people's stuff here... But I found this so powerful that I thought I should. It's a performance poem based on John 4: 4-30, and I have attached the original YouTube video below. A word for women, and men, everywhere... "to be known is to be loved, and to be loved is to be known." I am a woman of no distinction of little importance. I am a women of no reputation save that which is bad. You whisper as I pass by and cast judgmental glances, Though you don’t really take the time to look at me, Or even get to know me. For to be known is to be loved, And to be loved is to be known. Otherwise what’s the point in doing either one of them in the first place? I WANT TO BE KNOWN. I want someone to look at my face And not just see two eyes, a nose, a mouth and two ears; But to see all that I am, and could be all my hopes, loves and fears. But that’s too much to hope for, to wish for, or pray for So I don’t, not anymore. Now I keep to myself And by that
