Mark 7. 1-8, 14-15, 21-23

What lies within

What is it about me, dear friend?
There are times when I scare myself.
It happens often.
Too often.
I’m sitting watching the news or walking down the street or talking with someone and it happens.
Terrible thoughts – unkind and cruel – work their way up from somewhere inside me.
Snap judgements race into my mind as soon as somebody opens their mouth.
I dress it up with humour but that does not help or excuse.
And the worst thing is that all of this is somehow within me.
These awful thoughts and pictures and words,
This lack of kindness and love comes from inside ME.
