Pondering the depths of life and personhood

Been sorting through a variety of themes lately, some of which will likely surface later. At this point, it's mostly percolating, not yet in written form.

Just for kicks, a not-so-coherent teaser:

Vocation
Calling
Discernment
True Self/False Self
Kingdom of God
Metanarrative

More to come


Meanwhile, here's a quick-cut of a bit of creative writing I just conjured up...

---------

Dressed in bows and lace
Hair just right

Heads turn as she saunters
She's well aware

Seems to have it all together
What a great package!

A glistening reflection
But is it accurate?

A haughty voice
roars through the crowd

Shattering eardrums with its menace
The beauty speaks and all go silent

What comes from within is
corruption, gossip, a critical spirit

She hides her insecurity with words that cut
Can you see through the mask?

The eyes will often tell
of fear lurking below the surface

A girl wanting to be known
to be loved, cherished

She wonders if anyone would ever listen
If the real, tender girl unfurled her broken wings

Would you?
