Palm Sunday walk

Enter Jerusalem by the back door
Be Greeted by children
Proclaim Peace
Accept Hosanna as the Call to Liberation
Scare the Powers and Principalities 
Through Healing 
And Preaching if the Good News

Do not stop the Parade 
Let us add to the pile Good things

This week, Holy Week, Human Extremis Week 

Ride on on a Neutered, Baby Horse
Towards the Temple

Instead of the Palace
Beginning an Apocalypse
The Revealing 

To turn the word upside down 

Hosanna 
Save Us 
Blessed

is the
One
(Save us)
Who comes 
In the Name of
(Hosanna, Lord knows we need saving)
the Lord

Are you coming 
Prince of Peace?
Where is the backdoor anyway?

"Publisher after publisher turned down A Wrinkle in Time," L'Engle wrote, "because it deals overtly with the problem of evil, and it was too difficult for children, and was it a children's or an adult's book, anyhow?" The next year it won the prestigious John Newbery Medal. Tolkien states in the foreword to The Lord of the Rings that he disliked allegories and that the story was not one.[66] Instead he preferred what he termed "applicability", the freedom of the reader to interpret the work in the light of his or her own life and times.
