Thanks David. This short essay sparked a series of small fires in my memory fields. My parents were not church goers so I rarely attended church as a child but I do recall the recitation of the Lord's prayer in school assemblies. I too remember being confused by the use of the word "trespass" and wondering what it was all about. And, yes, I also was seduced by the sibilant sound of the hall full of mummering voices. As I listened to your audio it conjured visions of satanic snakes slithering towards an apple tree in the garden. It also struck me as no coincidence that the change in translation from "debt" to "trespass" happened at the time when the enclosure of the commons began in earnest in England. Lots to ponder upon. I look forward to reading the other essays in the series.

"Everything touches everything. Everything matters." Good to read you again. Thanks for proceeding in your intended sharing. As usual, so much to open the seeking mind and longing heart. "These are tales in which to plant our own tales ... toward other ways of living." That's the call I hear, and crave to reciprocate.
