Look.


Do you know that Calcutta has been renamed and is now Kolkata? I thought Calcutta was prettier. ABC just showed a documentary on the rickshaw pullers of Kolkata, and it opened my eyes to look at our world. How we treat people, how we close one eye (or both) to the immense poverty and pain of our national counterparts. He who has an ear, let him hear.

It is in the commonplace things that the Deity of Jesus Christ is realised. - Oswald Chambers.


Father,
I looked for you in smoked salmon and prada bags.
In fine dining and aristocracy,
In jewels and caviar.
But I found there less of you,
Than in green grass and smiles,
in air and in good temperament.
And in salt that will not be trampled on.
