Middleground

Nov 2, 2017

Him and her. A husband and a wife staying in a cozy hotel where you can come for just a couple of days with a risk to get stuck forever. It is so easy to get trapped in the daily routine. Indeed, nothing is more permanent than the temporary. Their time is like a flat circle. He has his phone calls and business meetings. She is wrapped in her dreams and doubts. All reactions are predictable, all conversations are learnt by heart. An endless LP record of life keeps playing again and again repeating itself. But a few things can break this tune, like a scratch on the record, a crack on a wine glass, a sudden glance or a meeting with a stranger. And then you know: tomorrow will come soon. Any moment something can go wrong, throw you off course, and force you to make a choice.

Sermon on the Mount

Dec 7, 2017

Questions occasionally turn up in the mind about those deeply buried stories that nobody was clear about. Can 8 young people find the real answer? What is the tree of knowledge and the forbidden fruit? Why did God make the fruit and let people pick it and eat it? It is Jesus who suffered for their sins, was resurrected and be-came the way of truth and a virtuous life itself. If people followed the way of Jesus, they would be resurrected and be unified with God and get into Heaven. But the reality is that the human world and God’s world are separated.
