"that child was born out of wedlock, that bastard child does not belong here"
"Angus, these prairies get lonesome, this baby boy was born out of artificial insemination under the midwife angel's golden-plucked banjo strings and we're raisin' this child with love and understandin' and all kinds of music, not just Sunday's"
"you two are the disgrace of the Lord's wheel, rollin' your buckboard the way you do, it's a sin of the flesh as sure as Lucifer sets prairie fire"
"Angus, this boy is a seed planted with love and fertilized in a prairie petri dish, ovum and sperm injected into her womb, a future preacher born to officiate gay marriage"
"she tells it right, rawhide preacher, would you cut your son out if he was gay, used his lasso in another man's way? Meet our beautiful son, Caleb, Hebrew for tenacious and aggressive, Biblical, Caleb a companion of Moses and Joshua, noted for his astute powers of observation and fearlessness in the face of overwhelming odds"...
This was a great write to be sure. I do not believe in anything other than man and woman together, but child does not pick its heritage or parents. So write on dear poet!!
First there is the hypocrisy of judgement and assumption... does anyone EVER consider that lack of faith is, perhaps, the "greatest" sin of all, for example (she says, judgingly?! :)) What IS the age-old hang-up with "sex sin", for goodness sake? Even worser is the judgement falling on the innocents, those whose "fault" it could no way be. Love is the greatest gift of all, and far too many who would seek to judge the values of others have not the gift of love and grace to start with. A liberating and overcoming write, Sage. Better the love of two mothers than the hellfire of a "god-fearin" wife-beatin husband. Caleb will be blessed with integrity and great insight with understanding. Provoking narrative. TY Kate xx
This is an interesting theme you're following of late, Sage. It's definitely one to make people stop and think. You're doing a wonderful job with it. Keep it up.
Though I may not agree with all you say Sage, I do agree you have the write to say it, to write it ,to live it, and let God be the judge!You are an excellent writer!...Eileen
