Beautiful
People,
Someone told
me that her new year’s resolution was to not make any resolutions. Then she told me that she had broken that one
as well—already. That seems about
right. Life and goodness are always
pulling us forward luring us to be if not better, than gooder and happier.
As for me, I
have resolved to read a poem a day.
I hope to imperfectly achieve this ambitious task. Poems seem to not only make me nicer but they
improve my vision by helping me to see “the image of God” of you and to feel my
own image of God glowing and making musical sounds.
So here’s a
poem by St. Thomas Aquinas. Let me know
how you feel afterward.
ON THE SABBATH
On the
Sabbath try and make no noise that
goes beyond
your
house.
Cries of
passion between lovers
are exempt.
See you…on
the Sabbath,
Pastor Shawn
