May take a while for this effect to 'trickle up,' gut eventually the message will get through.Richard Demmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116799651068476195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132410343235772418.post-88043390343431503172009-12-14T23:42:54.906-08:002009-12-14T23:42:54.906-08:00Wonderful comment and a great image/contrast betwe...Wonderful comment and a great image/contrast between those who feel the need to build up walls/fences to keep the chaos out and those who find freedom in the wild.

It has taken a long time to get there, but that is what I think is happening in the Church too: we are finally recognising that the same principle applies here.Terence Weldonhttp://queeringthechurch.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132410343235772418.post-27639291559247681102009-12-13T12:45:44.509-08:002009-12-13T12:45:44.509-08:00Funny that you talk about the wilderness at a time...Funny that you talk about the wilderness at a time that I am reflecting on the homily we heard which said "cultivate your garden", "remove the rocks", "build a fence to protect it", "do not go out into the wilderness outside the garden because it is dangerous out there!"<br />The wilderness populated by those who seek and feel surrounded by the divine are all that is feeding me these days.<br />Thank youcoolmomnoreply@blogger.com
