I Would Have God Himself Speak

I Would Have God Himself Speak

Were I “Dominee, Pendeta” that is, pastor, priest I would invite my congregation to God’s church. I then take them, no not to Bali, but to a beautiful spot, a paradise, so serene, in Cilenggang. We walk down a small winding, shady footpath, have them sit somewhere beneath a bamboo wood, listen to the sounds of water falling,  the rustle of the trees, to see the dew on the grass, a valley far away, feel the cool air, a breeze, ... while I myself don’t read the bible. I would keep silent and have God himself speak to the congregation.

And I imagined them on a little boat in a big storm in the night, in deadly peril. They all then know how to pray.

And whosoever finds his/her lover, its mate, then knows how to sing, to praise.
