Today's word is "en bloc" ... As a whole.
Apart
Can you do faith alone? Just you in a room?
Just you and the golf course or the lake? Just you ...
worshiping, reading holy books, thinking holy
thoughts ... whatever those are? Just you
deciding how best to change the world?
It might work for a while ... but then, how do you
show compassion? How do you forgive or share or
practice honesty? How do you learn how to become
community without ... um ... community?
Even if you could learn all these things en bloc, and
go about the world in a blaze of self-made glory,
what is the story you would tell?
How would you explain the way we belong to one
whose love is greater than our love of solitude?
One who includes and graces us before we even see our need?
One who always whispers, "Come."
