PREACHING INTO POVERTY

The Preacher or The Poor?

YES! YES! God help me.
I’m just a tiny Money Spider
Up, up, up
And down in a rut.
Up, up, up
And down in a rut.
Up, up, up
And down in a rut.
Hot-footing it across
This radiator plain
Or, you might say,
Playing with fire.

[Andrew Rudd, a former Cheshire Poet Laureate, led another wonderful poetry session at Chester's Diocesan Clergy Conference. An element involved in Preaching into Poverty is keeping one's eyes open ... seeing what's around us ... maybe writing or speaking about what things "Out of the Ordinary" say to us. For the umpteenth time: thanks Andrew]
