Edge Walkers

The Conversation

Elements From The Conversation

"...I see myself as an “edge walker,” wandering along the hemlines of the Christ tradition.

Perhaps you are an edge walker too.

Edge walkers occupy a thin space and are by definition a bit lonely.

Most people inhabit the vast spaces on both sides of edges.

But those of us called to the thresholds—the edges between—

live in this thin space and recognize one another when we meet."

Victoria Loorz: Church Of The Wild

Music

Artists are often edge walkers, be that poets, painters, writers or singers.

Leonard Cohen who grew up in the Jewish tradition, often taps into Christian themes and images as well. His "If It Be Your Will" is a beautiful example of the way he approaches prayer and uses traditianal language and concepts, but interprets it in a fresh way and applies it in his life.

The poet, Emily Dickinson, does the same with the traditional blessing, that ties in beautifully with Victoria Loorz's Wild Church where God is experienced in and through nature.

In the name of the Bee –
And of the Butterfly –
And of the Breeze – Amen!

Once again, as always, with love.

'n Duisend Hande Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek ~ ❖ ~ "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative [or creation] there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man would have believed would have come his way." W.H. Murray, Skotse ontdekkingsreisiger ~ ❖ ~ Cause of Death Uitstalling Ariana in vervoering Musiek Wanneer jy dinge nie so krampagtig probeer beheer nie, jou oorgee aan die vloei van gebeure en oop is vir die onverwagte, kan jy saam met Ian McKellen sing. Ian McKellen gee nie om saam met wie hy sing nie, solank hy dit net kan doen.
