About the rise - and fall - of Babel

If we build a 'Babel', we must be prepared to see it fall.

Whenever we feel 'impregnable', 
this can so easily lead to unawareness of our needs; 
the need for trust, humility, accountability and, ultimately, 
the need for God and each other.

Thank you, God, that in your infinite mercy, you are always there;
to pick us up when we are down, 
to help us rebuild and restore what we have lost;
to help us to love and care about and for others, to fulfil ourselves 
and to reconnect us 
to yourself and to each other.

Sundry thoughts from my notebooks

O God, please counsel my mind and console my heart.

Catch hold of God and don't let go.

We are living,
constrained by the chrysalis of our lives.
Help us to break free and soar like the beautiful creations you have designed us to be.

You are every breath I breathe.
You are my life-blood.

Heal my heart, soften my soul, still my mind.

Time is a 'cats-cradle'
in the fingers of God.

Everything should be viewed through the lens of love.
