Oh God
I can perceive your dilemma
precisely when you reach out to those populaces
who are not in the repertory of conformers
however you put faith in them
so you are there with them all the time
yet your forepart is deviated with them
so that they can affiliate to you
according to their own awareness
and you continue with them sometimes but not like a God
as I endure with my son when he is not acquiescent
to along me with him
yet it is my proviso of the connection
to annex him walking at his own terms
which do not match with my theology
Oh God...

I'm not sure "how abstract" this really is, I saw a clear message when reading this piece, or perhaps it's just my own interpretation....but it is nicely written, with some nice word choice, thank you for entering!

The parallels of life of love...
The parallels of life of love have so many layers for us to uncover. Just as we as parents are disappointed with the rebellious nature of our offspring, we learn to appreciate the grace and understanding that God grants us (allowing us the ability to walk in love towards our children). Another wonderful piece. --Joe

I had to think abstactedly myself to grasp this one...but I like the idea of theology being an abstract of it's own; and how you ascribe to God the human characteristic of acquiescence-when we walk off the 'path'-He endures our 'terms' and walks with us, 'according to our awareness'. I learn whenever I read your work, and I thank you for writing...Only one small word 'in', in the second stanza is repeated, a quick fix, I'm sure. Best of luck and peace to you, Rhonda
