A reflection on John 8:1-11
when Jesus paused. . .
oh the sweet sound
of the word - Pause
when he stooped to
the ground and
wrote in the dust
and the good Yahweh
loving folks who
wanted to teach him truth
dropped their stones
one by one
beginning with the oldest
and with their stones
all the ammunition
their hearts could hold
judgement, reactivity
orthodoxy, certainty
self-righteousness
I wonder if he was
making an opening in the
dusty ground of being
that tapped into
the ever-flowing
stream of life
just below the
thin surface of
all our reactivity
so what bubbled
up from beneath
were the healing waters
in which he
baptized the woman
and Pharisees alike
in total acceptance and
essential blessing. . .
all in the sabbath pause

Like.
