Root or stem.
Take away
earth and sky,
and I won't know
what I'm seeing.

About me
- HK Stewart
- I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

This is all very well, and it sounds rather good, but it leaves me wondering this...
Where is the Christianity in all of this?
Isn't Christianity about Jesus?
I don't see much of Jesus here.
Not that it bothers me, in the least.
It only makes me wonder.
Personally, I find that Christianity is perfectly compatible with taoism, and that it is only Christians that find taoism incompatible with Christianity.
What do you make of that?
You don't have to say.
Waves become horizon:
Bliss that paradox
Makes parable.
Ah.
Why didn't I think of that?
Venerable Crow:
I guess it depends on which Christianity you're talking about -- the one about Jesus or the one about the teachings of Jesus.
The first one is about salvation and perfection and miracles and healings and death and resurrection.
The second is about loving the Divine -- God, Tao, Allah, whatever you want to call it -- and loving our neighbors as we love ourselves.
I grew up as a Christian of the first sort. Today, I'm a Christian of the second sort -- at least to the extent it makes sense to put a label on one's spiritual identity.
It is what it is, is it not?
Thanks for reading and posting.
