Pentecost

Colours swirling and birling

Breath taking beauty

Wonder and mystery

The swirl of emotion and laughter 

Accusations of madness

will anything ever be normal again?

Praise God - no

All is changed

The world, the church, you, me

Can never revert to the mundane

For the Spirit blows the cobwebs away

stands life on its head

And challenges us to get caught up

in life-changing energy

And yet we go through the motions

Fulfilling all righteousness

Crossing the Ts and dotting the Is

Majoring in precision

Labouring over the unimportant

and soul-destroying detail

when the spirit wills us to be free

of the baggage of tradition

or bogged down by conformity

to throw caution to the wind

the wind of the spirit

and be caught up in the unpredictable

Grasp freedom

Embrace possibility

the Spirit wills the impossible

to be our reality

and our dreams

however crazy

to be fulfilled.
