  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hi, I'm not 100% sure this is the right spot for this but it seemed to be the closest I could find. I sometimes get randomly inspired to write poetry. I write quite a bit but have never written anything really spiritual in nature.

Well tonight I just had a moment of inspiration while listening to some peaceful music and I wrote this. Just had to share it with someone. ^^

Father

In the silence do you hear me?
Reach your arm across the wide divide
I am here in silence, in darkness
waiting for your light to shine

In the darkness can you see me?
See me eyes cast upwards
Longing to meet your gaze
Hoping for your loving touch

In confusion do you understand me?
My whole mind laid open
Even when I am lost
I look for your guidance

In storms, are you my rock?
Solid ground beneath my feet
When everything is turning
I seek your stillness

Up there, do you wait for me?
With the open arms of a father
When my sands of time run out
I will come to you.
