protestant

I come from a long line of protestants and am a protestant of protestantism. The protest must arise anew with each protestant. "You must be born again." And again and again. One must protest the immediately preceding protest and then protest that. Where does one stop? Where life stops. Life is reborn each moment. As far as religious dogma goes, this makes one a sort of heavenly hellion. One is "playing ball on running water."

  1. I'm reading this on a Sunday morning which makes the timing perfect for me. It is so easy to get stuck in a moment thinking we have the answer, without recognizing that the answer -- and the question -- keep changing. "Playing ball on running water" is an excellent reminder of the nature of Being. Thanks for the perspective and the blessing you continue to be in my life.
