Split like an atom

I release a thousand suns

Pouring out my love

Day Dream

Cosmic vibration Set in deep contemplation A daydream nation

Daily #haiku and #Bible journaling gentle pigeon created from a quagmire our cosmic birthplace 01-02-2019 #Christmas 10 Luke 2:39-40 This is the shortest reading I've ever "assigned"! I shall sum up: The family returns to Nazareth and lives there. And Jesus grows up becoming strong, filled with wisdom, and God's favor was on him. I think we should notice what is missing from Luke's narrative! There is no fleeing, no threats from Herod, none of that. It is in contradiction to Matthew's narrative. And it sounds like Jesus' childhood was fairly uneventful in Luke's understanding. Some question to ask (among others) is, what is the purpose behind Luke's writing? Why is he including this and not that? And the same questions should be asked of Matthew and all scripture. What are the motivations of the biblical authors? Who was their audience? Where we they located geographically, temporally, and politically? Why would they want to talk about this part of the story? Anyhoo… I am intrigued by the extra-biblical sources on Jesus' childhood. Notably, the Infancy Gospels of Thomas (~2nd century CE) and the Qur'an (3.49, 5.110) have Jesus performing miracles as a child. He creates birds from clay and breathes life into them. That is kind of fun! I chose to focus my art and haiku on this incident. Mud is essentially the biblical birth place of all humanity. Adam being created out of mud in the 2nd creation story. Adam was neither male nor female at birth. The meaning of the word adama which births the name Adam is "earth" or "mud" or "dirt." The miracle attributed to Jesus of creating a bird from mud is a direct attempt to show the alignment between Jesus and God. For #leaders, sometimes we have to poke around and do research to ask interesting questions that raise up people's truths…even their fantastical truths. Letting those simmer underground leads to polarized communities. How brave are you to ask the hard questions? #faithfullylgbt #nonbinary #Lgbtq #queer #Poetry #UMC #Christianity #Poems #PNWUMC #Scripture #Seattle #BibleJournaling #Pastor #Chaplain #biblestudy #biblereading #leadership #leaders #followership #artjournal #dailydevotional #senryu https://www.instagram.com/p/BsLV7LCBSy1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iysdc83onayf
