Haikonic afterthoughts

Posted on June 9, 2015 by Rosalind C Hughes

On blasphemy against the Holy Spirit

Blasphemy: wilful
submission to delusions
of divinity

Blasphemy: pinching
out air, pressing the human
back into the clay

Blasphemy: wilful
misinterpretation of
the mercy of God

    I have to agree. This is so good at so many levels: linguistic, theological, spiritual, human. Keep writing.
