Sufficient Comments

Such great writing. I love the idea of the evolution of a man's heart told through the metaphor of a biblical story. Transformational. Very well done.

I started this poem anticipating something different than what I found. This to do with my own connections with the word and concept of sufficient. On the last lines, relating this to my own experience, continued piercings of grace have by degees turned my stony heart into a more fleshly one. But the experience I think of as the first where God communicated with me came unbidden (as these usually are) and with me in a still-unredeemed but ready (in my desperation) state. Perhaps like Moses' at the burning bush? Are your own experiences different? I'd be interested to hear. For my poems related to Scripture in an ekphrastic sense, see, if you are so inclined, He Sang and Huge. The blessings of earth and heaven be yours! Glen

Hi Seamus I feel that this one is in two parts, the first part of love and the heart, and the second the story of moses which is told in a beautiful way, my head brings me back to the film of moses, which allows me a front row seat, when reading this. nicely done. Annette ;)
