There have been so many –
things done that are simply not right.
people deprived of life for no good reason.
lies told to ruin others just to have … to have what … the lie that one did nothing wrong?
processes used to reinforce that there is no justice or grace?
perversions demanded with no understanding of the hell that was?
hopes beyond hope that are still waiting for next year, next year in Jerusalem.
loves and life giving beliefs that are perverted to rob so many of life.
deaths … senseless deaths … just because they could … and never have to be accountable.
travels that bring one so far and yet one stays all too close, and
travels that bring one almost nowhere, and yet one stays oh so far distant.
resurrections … only because life is more powerful than death.
renewed hope that someday … next year in Jerusalem … the truth will be revealed,
and understood,
and acted upon … with grace.
Matthäus 10.27ff
Menschenfurcht und Gottesfurcht
27 Was ich euch sage in der Finsternis, das redet im Licht; und was ihr hört in das Ohr, das predigt auf den Dächern.
28 Und fürchtet euch nicht vor denen, die den Leib töten, und die Seele nicht können töten; fürchtet euch aber vielmehr vor dem, der Leib und Seele verderben kann in der Hölle. 29 Kauft man nicht zwei Sperlinge um einen Pfennig? Dennoch fällt deren keiner auf die Erde ohne euren Vater. 30 Nun aber sind auch eure Haare auf dem Haupte alle gezählt. 31 So fürchtet euch denn nicht; ihr seid besser als viele Sperlinge.
There have been so many …
but no pictures can make it right.
Nothing can make it right, except that …
that one remembers everything, and treats the Täter as if the Tat were not.
Doch
Doch
there is life and hope that next year in Jerusalem
