Beautiful post, Carolyn. Love the lyrics you translated. Also love the simplicity of Christ's message and the way you've been able to distill it. I've been very curious lately about what he often referred to as the "Kingdom of Heaven" and I believe you summarize it quite well. Not some faraway oneday afterlife but this place, right here, right now—if only we can see it, experience it, live it. Happy New Year!!
Thank you so much... I love the Sermon on the Mount, might do a series dedicated just to that, but we'll see. I do think it's very simple, just like you said. As Ecclasiastes puts it... "God made man upright, but they sought out many schemes" :) Here's to a beautiful new year!
Let me know if you're open to me cross-posting this piece a little later this week. My goal is to highlight and introduce other writers who are providing a positive approach to this subject. Happy New Year!!
I think what I'll do is cross-post it next Sunday that way I can put my full energy and attention into it. Been a crazy week so far and I want to do my best to promote it well:)
Sure! I appreciate you being so thoughtful with this. Take your time. I'm really slow with discovering all the tools available here at Substack, but I'd love to learn. If you would like me to write a few words of intro or otherwise help you out, just shoot me an email and we'll make it happen.

Wow, thank you! Sure, let's do this! Here's to a more hopeful deconstruction landscape, one blog at a time!
