you eat an Easter egg yet
no
when did you really know that man died for you
good question, and not sure if i can answer that
as a child, young, probably knew it then
but forgot, until an adult and at some point began to understand this was true
perhaps brought deeper into my understanding sitting last year, at a crossroads in jerusalem, a little oasis of trees surrounded by roads and buildings and an apartheid wall
after just having visited Dominus Flavus - the place where Jesus wept.... and right after, visiting a Palestinian town that Israelis are dismantling home by home with bulldozers and guns
and weeping also, because I was alone, and there was nothing else i could do
empathy and understanding, mixed with extreme frustration makes good, salty tears
one doesn't have to physically to that place where He lived and died to really know that this is for real
who do really love
assuming that anyone can really know what this love thing is, then, my 2 babes would qualify
levels of love, at the top would be them, and Mrs jules, then family then close friends (of which there are few)
i wish i was more like you and able to love more people, unconditionally, that would be an untruth though,
who don't you love
i reserve an element of love for everyone i know, even those who may be my enemy, its what is required of us, and i choose to do that
who did you last cry for
my mother, or maybe myself in thought of her, on mothers day, she passed away end of last year
who will you cry for next
the 5 sisters who died in Gaza in January, because i am about to do a video for Amos Trust and Martyn Joseph, using his song and images from that time, and I am avoiding it because I know tears will come
have your legs folded for good Friday
everyday
do you have vision over visibility
due to brain disfunction and some wires being faulty, i am blessed with this curse
is your gaze beautiful
when i open them fully and really stop and look, then it is
are you coming for a curry
on 21st april
by car
by train (overnight at wilson mansions?)
think I will blog some of this
didn't intend to

I would be pleased to receive your answers to these questions?
Good for me
Good for you!
