& streken ...
Je
kunt altijd
wel overeenkomsten vinden
tussen onze holbewonende oerouders & de astronauten.
Heel ons leven draait om overeenkomsten & verschillen:
vandaar ook dat we er eindeloos over doorgaan.
"The matter of alms from a prostitute's earnings
had been a point of contention in the deserts of Egypt!"
The reformed harlots whose narratives were presented decide to withdraw from their earnings
& not to try to do good with them in any way.
But there was another view:
Abba Timothy the priest said Abba Poemen:
"There is a women who commits fornication in Egypt and she gives her wages away in alms!" Abba Poemen said,
"She will not go on committing fornication, for the fruit of faith is appearing in her!"
Now it happened that the mother of the priest Timothy came to see him, and he asked her,
"Is that women still living in fornication?"
She replied,
"Yes, she has increased the number of her lovers, but also the amount of her alms!"
Abba Timothy told Abba Poemen.
The latter said,
"She will not go on committing fornication!"
Abba Timothy's mother came again and said to him,
"You know that sinner? She wanted to come with me that you might pray over her!"
When he heard this, he told Abba Poemen, & he said to him,
"Go and meet her!"
When the women saw him and heard the word of "G d",
she was filled with compunction and said to him weeping,
"From today I will cling to God & I resolve not to commit fornication any more!"
She entered a monastery
and was pleasing
to "G d"!
Ook deze zaken
spelen nog steeds mee
voor Elckerly in Alledagsland:
we verbieden & gedogen dat 't 'n lieve lust is
ten aanzien van handel & wandel, inkomsten & uitgaven, winsten & allerlei goede doelen?
In een chaotische wereld die is voortgekomen uit de Natuur & al onze culturen speelt zich van alles
& nog wat af tussen & buiten de muren van migranten, landbouwers, veetelers, grond- en delfstoffen, handel en wat daar allemaal bij komt kijken aan schrijnende armoe
& overweldigende rijkdommen:
we weten dat nu!
Iedereen
kan zich op de hoogte stellen
van alles wat we doen & laten tussen opstaan & weer slapen gaan.
"Gewone mensen" & 'buitenbeentjes' kunnen voortaan
niet meer om elkaar heen:
want de hele
wereld is
"EEN"!
