We each live in a world, within a world, within a world. Each one spinning around the other in oblivian except for those brief moments when they happen to brush against one another. We tend to focus so intently upon that which has a direct affect upon our own life and/or belief that we fail to notice, or care really, about the rest. Interesting observations, Jude and simply excellent poetry.
Take care,

Interesting thoughts penned here Jude, and though you know how I feel about whether the almighty cares or not, there have been times when I've yelled out the question. He cares, you can count on it.
Good to read you again

i was on beaches in NY and NJ reading this and i got the feeling that i met these same people before as they scatter themselves everywhere across countless beaches-the baptizing image is fantastic.
This so strikes a chord in my mind with your "another day" poem, for some reason... Here, just another day of each of us doing our thing, acutely observed by a spiritually watchful mind. Some of us are busy looking up to connect with the unseen; some of us look at what's manifestly around us to invest us with those warm, fuzzy feelings and to blot out the grot. To each of us it is some kind of salvation, a way of being freed from whatever shackles us, and God knows we need it - and cares, I believe. But the Divine meets with us where we're at, uniquely and individually, whether upright or prostrate; laid out or laid back! It's a relationship thing; our personal response is our choice. But "yes" to both questions - and continuously, for all time. Funnily enough, my daughter got a friend to baptize her off a windswept beach in Wales on Saturday afternoon... just a few seagulls present, I imagine, but reckon the Lord will have been standing by with a warm towel! :))
I like this one, honest and true look at your thoughts on the subject matter (which is one I agree with) and leaving lots of room for thought inbetween the crisps images.
Jude,
Yes, I firmly believe when a person is baptized his sins are all washed away by the blood of Jesus. From the moment he/she is saved his sins are forgiven.
Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
