Capitalism is never in harmony with compassion and love, as it has no sense of enough. It always wants more.
It operates under the auspices of scarcity instead of abundance. It’s like the Hebrews in the wilderness trying to get more manna than needed for the day (or two if the next day is the sabbath). It all rots.
Enough means to me, our daily bread, with trust for tomorrow instead of fear that tomorrow will be empty.
Capitalism isn’t the only concept not in line with this idea. Most systems of governance, economics, and religion all work off fear of scarcity. Compassion and love always work from abundance… hence why perfect love casts out fear.
and yet the LOGOS and the Spirit seek out and define without words, but with love that ends all labels of negation, so that the definition beloved is our foundation.
Happy birthday, Garrett! Your writing is such a gift to me and others. Thank you for being you...you are enough, more than enough. Selfishly, my birthday wish for you (can someone make a wish for another's birthday?!) is that your writing continues to speak to others and your paid subscriber list grows so you can continue writing, reflecting, and inspiring us!!! Happy birthday, my friend!
Don’t forget to save these whispers of wonder for the Anthology where you reflect
Jesus into the world.
I’m glad they’re on here. And they’re all on my computer. But adhd me saves and moves on.
Happy birthday, dear friend!
Thank you, brother!
Mt.25 32-46 "enough" would appear to be a dangerous concept.
All concepts are dangerous unless they are lived in the harmony of compassion and love.
Is there a concept that cannot be lived in the harmony of compassion and love? Say Capitalism?

So I would think it a good thing for the LOGOS and Holy Spirit seek out and define , irredeemable ideas and why.

The LOGOS 1=1; if A=B and B=C, then A=C The LOGOS creates A=C., using A=B and B=C
