Lamp shining

Lamp shining in a dark place. That’s what Peter calls it. 

Truth speaking. Holding us steady while it is night.

So, pay attention. Watch and learn. 

Until the Day dawns.

Look up

Dawn. And I’m walking on a path interrupted by roots. Stumbling on acorns hidden beneath fallen leaves. 

The way feels uneven. 

Unpredictable. 

I can’t look up. In the grey. Before full light reveals.

Unmapped

The urban forum. A gathering of the nations. We explore cities together. Examining them from various angles and worldviews. 

One particular presentation leads us to unmapped neighborhoods. Unnamed places. In the depths of an urban slum. 

Pushing out from the edge of a global city.

Streets and paths. Crossroads. Unmarked. Yet densely populated. With living, breathing communities.
