Why do the nations rage
against Love,
against Peace,
against Communion,
against Life and Healing?
Laugh, O LORD, with all your might
until the rulers and warriors are blown into dust
by the roar of your laughter, and let the
dust become compost to fertilize
fields that will feed all people.
(on Psalm 2:1-4)
The plot thickens, as
power and wealth distort the tale
of human flourishing.
Forgive us, word of life.
Ooooo, I really like your opening: “The plot thickens”! (Actually, I like the entirety of this piece.)
Thanks, Rachel.
I love your picture of the power of laughter to transform the destructive powers.
