A Whisper of Something Else

By Anna Berger No one in the world knows you’re here, Atop this ridge with your rose-flushed face and the dirt smudges up and down your faintly aching legs, you are alone. But God is no one because God is the One and the world is God’s and there’s a whisper of something else in […]

Embarking on the Journey

Jennie Kiffmeyer created this prezi as a kind of collaborative spirituality, using some of my images, other images from the Christian tradition and from the ancient world, and poetry that she wrote in response.  It’s incredibly beautiful.

The Image and the Word Bible Study: Matthew 3-4

Here are poems and painting that I’ve collected to accompany our study of the Gospel of Matthew. William Drummond’s “For the Baptist,” to accompany Matthew 3:1-10 John the Baptist’s preaching isn’t given much love by contemporary poets.  In fact, I had to go all the way back to the 17th century to find a poet […]

The Fancy of Self, The Imagination of God

When I was a young man, I had a fantasy that when I became an adult, really became an adult, I would have everything all figured out.  That the insecurity of trial and error would go away, and I’d know what to do and what not to do about any situation that might arise.  It […]
