The punch line, if you will, for this TED, by Wanis Kabbaj, is “How can we do both better?” Though I have referenced this TED recently in the unfolding Leadership & Legacy feature, I have felt drawn to dig a little further into nationalism and globalism, in particular, because the terms are connected with two very old Christian responses of how to be in the world: purity and pluralism.

#MicroPoetry|September ’24 Reflections

By |10 October 2024|Categories: A Deacon's Musing, Poetry|Tags: , , , , , |3 Comments

The #MicroPoetry of the blog began as a creative practice in 2012. Using the confines of twitter's 140 characters, this discipline has been a generative opportunity to use words to poetically muse. Starting in 2017, brief reflections became another way to explore the use of these verses as part prayer, thought, reflection, challenge or something in-between. I hope these monthly collections offer you space to be, reflect and consider how your own choices might help you and other #ShineOn.

#MicroPoetry|September ’24 Memes

Too often it seems that words and images are placed against one another. The gift of a meme, when hopefully done well, is that the word and the visual serve to complement and enhance one another in a way that either one or the other - on their own - is unable to fully convey meaning. I hope, therefore, that these mash-ups of #MicroPoetry and their original accompanying image amplify meaning that one or the other could not fully convey!
