With great skill and energy we have ignored the state of the human heart.
With politics and economics we have denied the heart’s needs.
With eloquence, wit and reason we have belittled the heart’s wisdom.
With sophistication and style with science and technology,
we have drowned out the voice of the human soul.
The primitive voice, the innocent voice. The truth.
We cannot hear our heart’s truth, and thus
we have betrayed and belittled ourselves and pledged madness to our children.
With skill and pride we have made for ourselves an unhappy society.
God be with us.
I have been totally gripped this week with the truth captured within Michael Leunig’s prayer and Banksy’s artwork.
How about a commitment to rediscovering our heart’s truth, and passing this on to our children and our society?
