Grasslands
“We are compassed about, with so great a cloud of witnesses.” – Brother Paul
My journey is about to take
Round the planet Earth
Again
To far off lands
New sights, new sounds
Strange voices
People (children) of a different way
But these grasslands
Will go along – as will my song
My voice,
And as I walk down this path
The things I see and understand
Began when I was just a child
In wonder of the stars
And subtle hue, of morning’s dew
Upon the blade
In me these grasslands will abide
In me they will not fade away.
If there is any of you
That feel that I owe an indebtedness
Unto them
Let me offer this -
In my next year of travels – I will
Answer a question per week
Anything you would like a firsthand observation of – at least – in my immediate vicinity (and with my limited access.) And when the year is concluded
Even so is my debt unto you
However blatant, unfeeling or indebted I am, from henceforth, at the fulfilling of this agreement – and there after . . . forgiven.
And all of this with my most humble apologies for my weakness of character – my self indulgence – and my foolishness.
Not withstanding this:
As your servant in these matters
I will fulfill to the best of my abilities, resources, health and protection – & will give you my best submission for your perusal and edification.
Not withstanding this:
That we agree – and you – by your steady and ready access to the answers to your questions, and your participation – agree
To allow me to publish your inquiries – as a form of public service to others who may have similar questions
And in the event that our words should turn to the golden edge, along the grasses on the ridge – then we agree in such a day – to fairly compensate your grace, and duly recognize your character and your labors and your ways.
By the way – this offer is only good for the next 12 months beginning August 1, 2009
You can enter into this agreement until – July 31, 2010
Not withstanding this:
That the full contract – by year or by day - is equally binding and true – and to this we say,
“Our eyes are upon Thee, for we know not what to do.”
I am looking forward to hearing from you at brian@proclamationfoundation.org
The prophecies of philosophies
The prophet of the Wind
The voices of the Grasslands
The discussions of a Friend.
And in apprehension of boring you let me close with this one caveat -
I am a student of the Gospels
My family is The Family
I am a follower of the teachings
Of Jesus of Nazareth
Perhaps you would bore me as to whose student you are?
And what is your creed?
And in your fifty (hereafter referred to as “one year” – Easter and Christmas you know) questions – if we look – we might find, that it is drawing very near – and that we should speak – ere the sun go down – and they night fall – and we be separated by the waves.
And only this remaining statute – that if you go in grace – That ye go in peace, and in power, and in the anointing of God.
- Gab
Before we leave our residence,
Let me say this
The only reason to go is to continue
Answering the drummer’s call
And reaching for the stars
Proclaiming as we go
Our understanding of the truth
The consequences of our youth
And faith in Jesus
And in God.
