Well obviously I'm going to have to ask for a Blackwall/El prompt. How about ❛ you’re welcome to stay, if you want. ❜ for these two loves 👀💗

thank you lucky!! this is the first thing i've ever written for dragon age: inquisition 🥰 @dadrunkwriting i haven't finished the game yet, but i love this guy~

rated t, 1084 words. early blackwall/lavellan.

⊹ ⊹ ⊹

Inquisitor. That's who she was now. Not Ellana, not El, not da'len. But Inquisitor, Herald, Mistress, Lady... titles as foreign to her as the religion she was now a figurehead for.

The celebrations were neverending. Skyhold's crumbling halls were packed full of people from Haven; pilgrims; and refugees from elsewhere certain that Inquisitor Lavellan would protect them with divine blessing. A meagre feast had been prepared, the ale was flowing freely, and there'd been lots of speeches and idolising stares.

Creators, the way that everybody looked at her made El feel sick. They weren't really looking at her. They stared through her, they saw things that weren't there. She wondered if any of them even knew her first name.

As the night pressed on, she receded further and further into the shadows, bit by bit. Slipping out of a conversation here, declining a drink there. As a hunter, she knew how to go unnoticed, and though it was considerably harder now than it ever had been, she still managed.

By midnight, El had left with a good old Dalish goodbye.

It was so much quieter as soon as she stepped into the night. A crisp breeze blew by, and it smelled of rain. She looked up, and the dark sky promised it too. There were no stars to guide her way, no moon, but lit torches buoyed across the grounds to light her way well enough.

Whenever El felt stressed back with her clan, she tended to go to the halla. They were good listeners, and always a comforting presence. The Inquisition had no halla, but the stables were the next best thing. She descended the steps two, three at a time, striding her way over in her naturally quick pace. Her friends always laughed and asked what she was running from. She supposed this time she actually had an answer.

Most of the horses were asleep, but she smiled and waved at them anyway, peering over into their pens. There was, of course, one that was awake.

El leaned back against a stable beam, and smiled. "Hello."

The bog unicorn never slept. It stared at her in a way that unnerved everybody else. Maybe because it didn't have any eyes to do the staring with. Maybe because of the rusty sword through its head. Humans were so judgemental.

"People think they know all about you too, don't they?" she asked, cocking her head to look the creature over. "But you're a good girl."

"Thank you."

El jumped out of her skin at the deep voice that answered her, and she whirled around to see Blackwall leaning against the door jamb, smirking at her.

"Warden Blackwall!" she exclaimed, flushing pink.

"I apologise, my lady," he said, sounding as grave as ever.

"Why aren't you at the party?" she asked.

"Why aren't you?"

"Fair enough," she mumbled, dropping her gaze. She couldn't help but peek at him though. El didn't know much about the Warden, but he held her on as high a pedestal as the others did, except for Solas. Though Blackwall was a bit more... bold.

You're unlike any woman I've ever met. You have the world at your feet, myself included.

There was something about him that El felt drawn to. His voice was deep and warm, his face was weathered, his eyes haunted... he was older, probably by about fifteen years, maybe more. Miralras would tease her to no end, she was sure. Even so, El's heart fluttered in her chest every time Blackwall looked her way.

"My lady," he said lowly, a voice like rolling thunder. "Are you alright?"

She met his eyes properly. Fuck, he was so kind. So sweet and seemingly shy until he flirted with her in public and immediately looked as though he was surprised he'd let himself talk.

His pale eyes pierced hers, and she suddenly felt more vulnerable than she had standing at the top of that forsaken fortress, with everyone bowing down to her.

"I was trying to pick a name for the bog unicorn," El said loudly, snapping her focus back to the thin creature in front of her.

Blackwall didn't answer right away. He knew she was avoiding the question, but she stubbornly kept her eyes front and centre anyway.

"...What about Rusty?" he suggested eventually, and El sagged in relief.

"What, because of the sword sticking out of her face? Bit harsh," she laughed.

"Alright. Ginger."

"I was thinking that, actually," El smiled, approaching the bog unicorn slowly. "But in Elvish, Sinsir."

She held out her hand, and the horse gently pushed her nose into it.

"Or maybe Sansal," she said, stroking along her rough snout. "Banralon, or Banra for short. Thelga... Ghiladin..."

A pause.

"...They all mean ginger?" Blackwall asked.

El laughed. And not one of her pretty ones that usually came out when she fancied someone, but an ugly, snorting thing. She looked at him in embarrassment, but he wasn't laughing at her, or looking in shock. He smiled at her warmly, and looked so... soft.

"No," she chuckled one last time as her laughter trailed off, and she smiled at him, lowering her voice. "They mean shadow blessing. Shadow friend. Safe spirit. And the dead guide."

"Ah," he murmured, holding her gaze. "For the sword sticking out of her face."

El laughed again. "I suppose you're right."

Silence fell between them again, heavy and awkward with avoided conversation. The wind had turned colder, and El shivered in the ugly beige clothes she'd been given. Hideous and impractical. Just like the Chantry. She sighed.

"You don't have to go back, my lady," Blackwall muttered. He pushed off the door jamb.

"Don't I?" El asked, turning to face him properly, looking up at him. They were in that strange liminal space that felt so exciting and so anxiety-inducing at the same time. Not close enough to cause a scandal, but close enough to see the grey hairs in his beard. Quiet, with words on the tips of their tongues but it wasn't the time, wasn't the place, it wasn't appropriate. El was no fool, she knew when someone was attracted to her.

And Warden Blackwall was certainly attracted to her.

"There are plenty more mounts to name," he muttered.

Why did that make her blush? Oh, she could practically hear Miralras ripping into her.

"If you're lucky, I'll let you name one," she tried, grinning.

A smirk spread slowly across his face.

"Then I hope I'm lucky, my lady."

Genesis

Genesis

THE idea that the Book of revelation in its four parts, the Torah or Tawrat, the Psalms or Zabur, the New Testament or Injil, and finally the holy Qur'an, makes up a coherent whole, is one that has been fostered in practice by most Muslims for centuries, and forms a basic tenet of the Bektashi-Alevis. In his book What does God Demand of Humankind, the late Turkish teacher of Islam, Šinasi Koç, maintains that the differences between Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the less numerous faiths of East and West would find a common path if they adhered to the divine law found in the pages of the Bible and the Qur'an. This call to return to the common faith was the focus of his life work. The 17th-century Christian writer, Edward Elwall, in addition to wearing Turkish dress in witness of this common faith, also wrote many tracts defending the Decalogue as the foundation of a common revelation, and the universality of the one God of revelation.

The book of Genesis, the first part of this grand conversation between God and humankind, is a compilation of stories that give the fundamentals of this common revealed faith. Rather than a philosophical point of departure in the definition of God, the story begins by affirming Deity through creation. The universality of the sovereign Creator-God comes to a pinnacle in the story of Abraham and Melchizedek, both of whom, while representing different tribes, recognize the same God. Polytheistic systems fostered the worship of different, local gods as one moved from place to place. The experience of Abraham, who as a nomad worshipped one and the same God all of the time, no matter where he wandered, was a telling witness against idolatry. This is the first principle of revealed faith.

Other fundamental principles are also found in the book. The story of Cain and Abel establishes the principle of divine justice, one carried out through the story of the Flood and later episodes. Again and again the principle of prophethood as the medium of revelation appears, until finally God tells it to a heathen king in a dream in Genesis 20:7, claiming Abraham to be a prophet. The same passage establishes the practice of righteous dissimulation or taqiyya. The first woman to be a prophet appears in Genesis 16, Hagar, the mother of Ishmael. Others, such a Miriam the sister of Moses, Hanna the mother of Samuel, and Deborah in the book of Judges follow in line.

The principle of divinely appointed leadership is established throughout the book of Genesis, as the line moves from the hereditary one of Genesis 5 to the appointment of the righteous Abraham. The book of Genesis moves through twelve successions of divinely appointed leadership, establishes them as divine proof or witnesses to the world of the oneness of God, and finally, tells the story of the first occultation, the disappearance of the prophet Enoch to walk with God.

The principle of human responsibility before God, or judgement, is approached from several points of view in the story of Joseph, where the factors of God's sovereignty and foreknowledge are placed opposite human choice and responsibility. Thus, although the oneness of God is the major theme of Genesis, the basic principles of divine justice, revelation through prophets, divinely appointed leadership, and divine judgement are fully portrayed to the one who approaches the Book of revelation from the beginning.

Christians have made a great issue of the prophecy of the coming of Christ to be found in Genesis 3:15. I find this text ambiguous for such purposes. More telling is the principle of revelation through the Angel of YHWH, whose role as messenger of God is so strong that he always speaks for God in the first person, and is even in Genesis 16 and 22 as well as other passages elliptically referred to by the name YHWH as well as the Angel of YHWH, a convention that may go far to explain the strong anthropomorphism that is applied to YHWH in some texts. The personification of the Word of God is laid down in Genesis, preparing the way for the Logos of John and the Qur'anic recognition of the Messiah, a word from Allah. But this should not be construed in any sense that attributes creaturely characteristics to the Creator or denies His absolute oneness.

The Angel of YHWH appears at the binding of Isaac as well. The awareness of the anthropologist that the sacrifice of Isaac is a replay of a rite of passage with a set liturgical text after the manner of Van Gennep rather than a unique and straightforward event is perhaps my most important original exegetical contribution. The fact that it accounts for all of the factors, however, is not enough to establish its validity as a hermeneutical alternative among those who wish to maintain as many points of division as possible between faith traditions. The explanation of course allows both the Bible and the Qur’an to be correct in describing the rite for both Isaac and Ishmael.

As the bridge of faiths, Genesis arises most fully in its presentation of the loving relationship between Ishmael and Isaac and their descendants. Both sons are established in Genesis 17 as heirs of the promise of God, and both are fathers of twelve princes. The passage containing the names of the sons of Ishmael in Genesis 25:13-16, when cantillated in Hebrew, is one of the most exquisite hymns of the entire Book of Revelation.

Konflik Qatar: Israel akan dapat manfaat

Konflik Qatar: Israel akan dapat manfaat

KENAPA tidak  meningkatkan tekanan  kepada Israel yang  sejak 1948 menjadi pengganas  menzalimi rakyat Palestin?  Kenapa memutuskan hubungan diplomatik dengan Qatar?

Adakah Israel  yang menceroboh Palestin,  merampas tanah dan membunuh rakyatnya  bukan pengganas?  Kenapa  Qatar?  Adakah kerana Qatar tidak memusuhi  Ikhwanul Muslimin dan Hamas yang tahap “keganasannya” melampaui Israel?

Apakah permainan sebenarnya di sebalik tindakan drastik yang  memberikan kesan sangat besar terhadap geopolitik di Asia Barat?  Tindakan  ini  memperagakan pemikiran pemimpin Islam di dunia Arab  mudah  dipengaruhi  Barat  tanpa melihat  kesan jangka panjang kepada umat Islam seluruhnya.

Lima negara dunia Arab;  Arab Saudi,  Emeriah Arab Bersatu (UAE),  Bahrin, Mesir dan Yaman telah memutuskan hubungan diplomatik dengan Qatar.

Alasannya sangat meragukan. Kelima-lima negara ini bersepakat  mengambil tindakan demikian kerana  sokongan Qatar kepada pergerakan Islam Ikhwanul Muslimin yang diharamkan di Mesir dan  Hamas di Palestin.

Kenapa tiba-tiba timbul isu pengganas dan Qatar?    Adakah ini kena mengena dengan penegasan  Presiden Amerika Syarikat (AS) Donald Trump semasa melawat Asia Barat termasuk Arab Saudi  dan Israel supaya memerangi pengganas?  Dalam kelima-lima negara itu, yang paling dominan ialah Arab Saudi dan Mesir.  Kedua-duanya pula mempunyai sejarah keakraban yang luar biasa dengan AS.

“Extremism, and all reference was pointing to Qatar. Perhaps this will be the beginning of the end to the horror of terrorism!”   Ini adalah Twitter  Trump  pada 6 Jun lalu  dan sama sekali tidak boleh diperemehkan.  Trump secara terang menyasarkan Qatar sebagai pelindung pengganas di rantau Asia Barat. Faktor  Trump membuat kenyataan demikian  bukan satu jenaka.

Kalau ditinjau  lebih mendalam,  Mesir  adalah  proksi AS di Asia Barat selain  anak angkatnya,  Israel.   Kecuali Mohamad Morsi,  semua Presiden Mesir adalah dalam kalangan pemimpin tentera dan bukan rahsia lagi  tentera Mesir mendapat dana  tahunan yang besar  dan  dua pertiga daripada dana itu disalurkan kepada ketenteraan, selebihnya untuk prasarana bagi kesejahteraan rakyat. Morsi adalah pemimpin Ikhwanul Muslimin yang dipilih menjadi Presiden dalam pilihan raya bebas  Mesir yang pertama.

Disebab Morsi  pemimpin Ikhwanul Muslimin serta bukan proksi  Barat , AS memainkan peranan mencetuskan huru hara hingga memaksa rampasan kuasa oleh pihak tentera.  Perampas itu adalah pemimpin tentera El Sisi  yang kini menjadi Presiden Mesir dengan dokongan AS.  Serentak dengan kejatuhan Morsi,  orang-orangnya dipenjara  serta banyak yang dihukum mati dan Ikhwanul Muslimin diharamkan.

Nah,  dalam penghukuman kepada Qatar  baru-baru ini,  nama  Ikhwanul Muslimin disebut sebagai alasan termasuk  pergerakan Hamas yang menentang  kezaliman Israel di Palestin.  Ikhwanul Muslimin telah dikambinghitamkan untuk menjatuhkan Qatar yang  memusuhi Israel.  Suara Israel  tidak kedengaran dalam konflik terbaru ini tetapi  tetap memainkan peranan di belakang tabir sambil menangguk keuntungan.

Sebenarnya ketegangan negara-negara Arab dengan  Qatar bukan baru. Pada 2014  misalnya, Bahrain, Arab Saudi, dan  UAE  telah  menarik balik   Duta Besar   masing-masing dengan alasan  Qatar mencampuri hal elwal dalaman negara berkenaan. 

Sokongan Qatar kepada Ikhwanul Muslimin juga sebahagian alasannya.  Bagaimanapun keadaan  reda apabila Qatar memaksa Ikhwanul Muslimin keluar dari negara itu.  Ikhwanul Muslimin digambarkan lebih besar jenayahnya berbanding  tentera Zionis  Israel.

Pada 2012 pula ketika meletusnya Kebangkitan Arab,  Qatar  dituduh  menyokong  Presiden  Mesir ketika itu,  Mohamad Morsi dari Ikhwanul Muslimin.  Selain itu  Qatar telah memberikan ruang kebebasan yang besar kepada agensi beri Al Jazeera menyiarkan liputan Kebangkitan Arab hingga melumpuhkan negara-negara terbabit.

Bagaimanapun yang paling menimbulkan kemarahan negara Arab terutama Arab Saudi  ialah selepas agensi berita Qatar,  Qatar News Agency  (QNA) digodam yang membawa kepada pembocoran  kenyatan-kenyataan sulit pemimpin Qatar  mengenai Arab Saudi.  Antaranya Qatar mempertikaikan kempen-kempen Arab Saudi  untuk menyingkirkan Iran dari kuasa-kuasa lain di Asia Barat.

Menteri Pertahanan Israel, Avigdor Lieberman  semasa memberikan reaksinya kepada media berkata,  tindakan negara-negara Arab memutuskan hubungan diplomatik dengan Qatar membuka peluang  yang lebih besar memerangi  pengganas. 

Bagaimanapun  beliau tidak  melontarkan  kegembiraannya bahawa  tindakan ke atas  Qatar  menjadi pemangkin teranjak lagi perjanjian damai  Israel – Palestin.  Ini kerana Qatar dilihat menjadi paksi kekuatan Hamas dari segi ketenteraan dan kewangan.

Pada  1996, Qatar  menjadi  negara pertama dalam dunia Arab  menjalinkan hubungan dagang  dengan  Israel. Bagaimanapun  kerana kezaliman tentera Zionis Israel melancarkan  perang ke atas Gaza  pada 2008 dan 2009 yang mengakibatkan 1,200 orang Palestin terkorban,  Qatar  dengan  serta merta menutup pejabat perdagangan Israel di Doha dan mengusir semua  kakitangan. 

Dari segi ekonomi,  Qatar  mempunyai  sumber bumi iaitu minyak dan gas asli yang menjadi pemacu  kepada negara  yang pendapatan perkapita tertinggi.  Sebelum meletusnya konflik  terburuk ini Qatar menjadi  sebutan dunia dan menadah kemasukan pelancong  sempena  penganjuran  Piala Dunia yang dijadualkan pada 2022.  Bagaimanapun  dengan tercetusnya  konflik diplomatik ini,  penganjuran Piala Dunia 2022  menjadi samar-samar.

Simpanan gas aslinya mencecah 25 trilion meter padu  iaitu 13 peratus daripada simpanan gas asli dunia  dan ketiga  terbesar  di dunia.  Sementara  simpanan minyak dijangka  mencapai 25 bilion tong  yang  kalau diambil dalam kuantiti sekarang akan mengambil masa 56 tahun untuk habis.   Ternyata  Qatar mempunyai  hasil yang memungkinkan banyak pihak terutama AS  berhasrat untuk menguasainya  seperti yang berlaku di Iraq.

 Secara diplomatik,   Qatar dilihat mempunyai hubungan rapat dengan AS apabila membenarkan  pangkalan tertera AS  dibina di negara itu.  Tetapi faktor AS tidak boleh diperemehkan  dalam konflik terbaru di Asia Barat ini  apa lagi tindakan memutuskan hubungan diplomatik dibuat selepas beberapa hari  lawatan  Trump ke Asia Barat  khususnya Arab Saudi.  

Barangkali  Qatar  akan dijadikan seperti Mesir ketika diterajui oleh  Presiden Hosni Mubarak.  Walaupun Mesir proksi AS tetapi  pada tangan yang satu lagi AS mendokong  aspirasi  Kebangkitan Arab untuk menumpaskan Mubarak. 

Kesimpulannya konflik  ini menguntungkan musuh Islam  terutama  Israel dan AS.  Tindakan drastik yang  penuh emosi begini tidak sepatutnya berlaku dalam kalangan negara Islam di Asia Barat. Apa lagi  melihat takah  hubungan yang sangat rapuh. Tentunya  tindakan  memulaukan secara diplomatik  ini  membuka ruang kepada musuh untuk memainkan peranan mereka.

Negara-negara Arab  ternyata tidak pernah belajar dari sejarah. Sebaliknya mereka sanggup bersatu untuk memusnahkan antara satu dengan lain.  Tanpa  musuh  Islam sekalipun hubungan antara negara-negara  Arab mudah retak, apa lagi dengan segala macam propaganda oleh Barat  yang bermatlamat menguasai kekayaan negara Islam.

Tanpa sokongan kuat daripada negara yang paling dominan seperti Arab Saudi dan Mesir, tindakan memutuskan hubungan diplomatik terhadap Qatar tidak mungkin berjaya.  Tiga negara lagi,  Bahrin, UAE dan  Yaman tidak mempunyai pengaruh sehebat Mesir dan Arab Saudi.

Tindakan Arab Saudi  mendesak Qatar  memutuskan hubungan dengan pergerakan Hamas sudah pasti akan menguntungkan Israeal.  Tetapi tidak menguntungkan Arab Saudi.  Hamas adalah benteng yang memperlahankan pencerobohan dan kezaliman Israel ke atas rakyat Palestin.

Mendesak  Qatar  supaya tidak menyokong Ikhwanul Muslimin hanya akan menguntung AS dan proksinya yang menerajui Mesir.  Perlu diingat label “pengganas” kepada Ikhwanul Muslimin dan Hamas adalah dari sisi  Barat.  Apakah negara-negara Islam Arab juga memahami “pengganas” daripada pengertian Barat?

NORTHERN ACCENTS FOR THE WIN

YES ELWALL

[thomasgmcelwain]

Foreword

Foreword

FIND truth, my soul, and do not flee away

From light that pains the darkened eye with day.

Is man the gauge of right and wrong, one man

Who rules, the erudite or strong, who can

Impose by arm or reason his own will,

Or even the free soul that's standing still?

I think not, my experience shows me

That human search has limits it can be.

If I am limited, it does not follow

That there is greater in the world to wallow.

But if there is One violent Beloved,

He may extend a hand, though it be gloved,

A hand of revelation in my need,

A word of knowledge and a loaf to feed

The soul whose barren corners lack the light

To know the right from wrong at the first sight.

Sweet Reader, dearest, take this book in hand,

And open it, and read, and understand.

It holds the words of One divine and true,

Called Allah, Ælohim, or God, or YHWH [Huu].

I sip the bright and glowing syllables

Of revelation, myth and miracles,

As some contend, but none of these describe

Those words to me. I see no lie or bribe,

But only billets-doux from the Beloved.

I answer them, cloved, cinnamoned, fox-gloved,

Rose-watered and in bitter lime inured,

Yet shyly pausing to pluck at His word.

Sweet Reader, dearest, take this book and read

The words of one Beloved, if you'll not heed

My flocked rejoinders. Meet the Sabbath day

With book in tow and in it lose your way.

I might cast curses on that education

That turned me preacher to the church and nation

That will have nothing of the words I say.

I speak to bare walls who once spoke for pay.

And yet I cast suspicion on the priest

Who eats his hearers' bread, offence increased.

Instead of bare walls I preach on to God,

Call Him Beloved who am made of the sod.

Since none stop on the corner where I preach

My livid rhymes, I'm free of those constraints

That hired bishops lay on self and each.

I live among wild creatures and their saints.

I thank that education that gave me

The languages to read the sanctity

Entombed in Bible and Qur'an for earth,

And taught me what a lexicon is worth.

With Hebrew text and facile dictionary

I can dispense with other commentary.

Caedmon alone in Saxon tongue was bold

To start the brave tradition of the old

Medieval singers of the divine Word.

Such troubadours but copied Arab style

That spoke Qur'anic language for awhile.

A pox upon Wickliffe's and Tyndale's curd,

Who turned the poetry to prose and thus

Began tradition of translating worse.

I laud the two, however, for their fame

Of opposition to priestly acclaim,

And setting every ploughboy on the hill

To knowing Scripture better than church mill.

The only way to translate's with the heart

And rhythmings and rhymings from the start.

But divine Word bears no translation well.

Its incarnation in body a spell

Quite failed to rend the veils and fill the earth

With knowledge of the Lord and of His worth.

Rather than a translation, I shall speak

Of sermons for the listener that I seek,

The barkings of a dog let off the leash,

The contemplations of a lone dervish.

I read the Massoretic text and take

The Byzantine or Received Text in stake,

Just as did those who followed good King James,

And so relieve myself of blames and claims.

I trace Apocrypha attached in Greek,

And add to this two other works I seek,

The Book of Enoch and of Jubilees,

Whose language is beyond my expertise

That must rely on Lawrence, Charles and

Josh Williams's edition out of hand,

But most upon delighted reading of

Ras Feqade the First's compelling love.

And so I here recuperate the narrow

Canon of Ethiopic church and marrow.

I hesitate not to redeem a few

More ancient texts that have freshness of dew

And speak of our Lord in his infancy,

Or like Clement affirm morality,

Or like Thomas reveal a secret word

Of what Christ said and of what then occurred.

Axum and Yemen must have taught the first

Of Muslim refugees what was not worst,

The popular faith, not official go

Of king, but that of peasant and the low.

This unspoiled, pristine faith by some called Jew

And by some Christian is retained by few,

And is expressed in Qur'an to guide to

Reform behind the sectarian view.

And so I take also Arab Qur'an,

And try its glowing words and put them on

To wear in English eight-step lines as brash

As any Turkish folk bard makes from trash.

My speeches to the Lord I make resound

In ten-step lines with some ghazel-like sound,

Although in both I sometimes let the measure

Run in a rhyme feminine for its treasure.

These freely singing sonnets from the heart

Reply to the Beloved from horse and cart.

I let the modern translator run prose

In pseudo-scientific power pose,

And take each word I taste as full inspired

No matter what the critic has admired.

The old scholars say faith arose in time

Through fear of ghosts or high gods in their prime.

Both evolution and diffusion make

Some errors that the new-come seems to take.

I lay off every theory and instead

Know that all faiths are of one power bred.

They all began once when a crowd complained

They heard God speaking on a mountain trained.

Some call the mountain Sinai some Redstone

Pipe Quarry, others have their grant and throne,

But all are right as far as they retain

The message of the Decalogue amain.

All is just book and visions of the wary,

The Torahs, Psalms, and Gospels, no doubt true,

Are ancient words repeated, ancillary

To that one revelation that will do

For all time, I mean Decalogue. That's all

We find in any book of faith that's call

Direct from God to multitudes to show

What is belief and faith and how to go.

To me the words are lovely things to hear,

That God is one, and yet He is so near

To me that I cannot see Him at all,

As I cannot see heart, vein, or eye-ball.

No thing can express Him in image or

Be object of my worship, but abhor.

His name is lovely to be called upon

In joy, in fear, in quietness and calm,

Who holds guiltless who do not call in vain.

Though He is always present, I can gain

No hiding place from Him, yet He appears

Each Sabbath day with happiness or tears.

He gives one duty only to be done,

Not great feats nor things tiring to be won,

But simply honour to one's mom and dad,

By doing so, one avoids all things bad,

In judgement has the chance to come home free.

He lovingly protects from harm by saying

Not to kill, not commit adultery,

Not to steal, and in bearing witness staying

Within the truth. But greatest satisfaction

Comes in not coveting another's faction.

The Bible and Qur'an have just one plot,

Examining the Decalogue's love-knot.

O pagan Christian, lay this book aside.

You've not honesty to bear truth, abide

In your Mithraic sacrifices and

Their festivals to sun on every hand.

Or else put off idolatry that wears

The false face of three gods in one for dares,

Put off your human sacrifice and cup

Of human blood you drink and then look up,

Put off your hate and criticism of

The sacred Word of God dwelt on in love.

Bow down in sacrifice of self this day

Of Sabbath rest held in repentance' sway

Instead of the emotions of false story,

Seductions of fanfare and churchly glory.

The dross of seven evils I replace

With gold of love to God, before His face

Obedience to His word rightly known

That He sent out from Sinai and His throne.

The first evil eschewed is pagan gods

Set in their trinities cast on the sods.

The second evil is the works of hands

Set up for worship, iron credo bands.

The third is Sunday worship, sun worship,

The fourth is priestcraft and bowing from hip.

The fifth is payment to the priest and crown,

The sixth is violence and killing for

The so-called faith and weal, and what is more,

The last is pride of power, seeking renown.

Sweet reader with a loving heart, read not

This book at once as in an hour taught.

Instead take it each day in sacred draught,

And after whirling holy names at eve

As Sabbath draws on, do not take your leave

Until you've made a portion of its fire

And calm one with your secret soul's desire.

A daily, weekly guide its pages are

To those who follow David's key and star.

The Baptist way of worship guides my hand

With prayer and song and preaching to the band.

The Torah is a song, the Psalms a prayer,

The Gospel and Qur’an preach to the fair,

And so the whole’s a Sabbath meeting’s share.

Beloved, God of the Universe, the One

Who stands alone in royal dignity,

Creator of the worlds and all things done,

Look in Your love and mercy upon me.

I put Ed Elwall's turban on my crown

And don his white and seamless Turkish gown.

I start my pilgrimage at Eden's gate,

Pass Egypt and fair Babylon with hate,

Bow at the Kaaba of my own threshold,

And penetrate the streets of Salem, old

And worn, kiss Ephrata's steep hills and fly

To Yemen and Axum beneath clear sky.

Beloved, God of the humble and the small,

Hear one poor dervish and his single call.

The camels and the caravans pass by,

The trains of pomp and wealth beneath a sky

Clear sunned. I walk my circle now alone,

No comrade here to share my wine and bone.

None hears my footsteps fall in sacrifice

But You alone, Beloved, and You suffice.

I lay Ed Elwall's turban now aside,

Take off the Turkish gown once donned in pride,

And naked step into the slaughtering ground.

The sighing of Your name's the only sound

That touches on my ear. Alone I whirl

While the great and the true come to unfurl

A flag of conquest and a seat of state.

Outside the fold I humbly kiss Your gate.

The wilderness about my ringing ears

Re-echoes with the sermons in arrears

E. Eckerlin recites into the wind.

Like his my fellows are both winged and finned,

Who can sit through the rhetoric of hours,

Day after day, night after night, in showers

Of jewels let loose from Your eternal Word.

I meet the lone dervish of beast and bird.

The man was satisfied to be alone,

Cabined in the woods, friend of earth and stone.

He was again in peace when others came,

Establishing about him halls of fame.

He lived to see the comers go away.

Still he was satisfied to stay and pray.

The most obscure of Your band is St. Beathan,

Not even certain which of two we mean,

Or if he is progenitor of mine

Or only mentor of my fathers' wine.

The Celtic hermitage beside the lake

Was where he learned in every beastie's wake

And taught the humble who came to his door

To pray to You, Beloved, upon the shore.

I too in centuries beyond his ken

Avoid the tabernacles of strong men

And sit between the lake and forest trees

And learn from robins and the bumble bees

To take my breath and nourishment from You

Alone beside the pansies and the dew.
