Wauw Doug!
What a beautiful idea!
I'm siting here in the early sunny morning (but still snow outside even the
calendar says springtime) and all the small grey ones in the back of my head
is jumping explodingly around
- maybe it is what they call opening mind? ;-)
I never really thought of the Bible as written by persons who wanted to
share their experiences and ways of living just to encourage me (and ok some
others as well) - in a way we are writing a bible on this list aren't we?
Have a nice day - whereever you are!

Emne: Bible-writing OST?
Hi friends--
Below is the current Footprint in the Wind/sm which I have sent out to my
small list.
It has been working me, working in this way, and I need your help thinking
this through: Could this be an invitation for a community OST?
Who would we invite? Poets, prophets, letter writers, storytellers,
conversationalist, people who want to meet raw side to raw side, givers,
doers?
Have any of you experienced such an OS?

Let us write a new Bible. Every year. Let us tell
tales of men and women hearing the voice of G*d,
leaving their lives to go on pilgrimages at any age;
let us prophesy and turn our lives into object
lessons; let us sing new songs and write grand
flowing poetry; let us write letters to uplift each
other, memorable letters to speak to generations; let
us listen from the heart to others, daring to quietly
share our vulnerabilities; let us tell our visions
and revelations. Let us write not with pen and ink,
but with lives afire. Save us for our living response
to the Word wind-whispered to us by a G*d truly met,
from being wizened men and women whose stiff fingers
turn delicate pages seeking to divine small lessons
for shriveling lives. Our Bible is living; we are its
breath. Our story is its story. Let us dare to meet
this G*d who dares to listen to us, let us respond by
casting our lives into the mix, let us write the next
page.

Please pass it on.
