black and white

Part of thinking
and our culture
this
black and white
notion,
theology,
politics...

Simple
black and white
this and
that
them and
us
here or
there.

It plays out
generation
after generation.

We define and
confine.

It's just
easier
we think
but
not really.

The black and
white of
Holy Week
will
be interrupted
with
gray
confusion
questions
doubt
fear.

Like it or not
these
gray things are
part of
faith.

Like it or not
God's
love is
not as
simple and
clear cut
as we
like.

Grace
has a tendency
to blur
our black and
white
ways.
