Don'T Beatitudes

Don't speak of God's redemptive healing while practicing competitions in marketing fear, and self-righteous anger, and xenophobic hate. Don't expect voices for democratic integrity from bodies raised for overpowering secular mendacity. Don't listen for wealthy cooperation indoors where speakers shout in supremacy against healthy outdoor profits and prophets. Don't anticipate ecological health where no theological wealth has gone before to prepare love's multicultural way. Don't expect us to invite your messages without prior investment in cooperatively mediating channels. Don't hope for ecstatic transport without enchanting everyday polypathic communion right where and when and why you HereNow already are. Don't invest faith in secular wonders without first finding a sanctuary caring for internal sacred awe. Don't hope for celebrating outdoor public voices without divesting of competing inside private tyrants. Don't speak of love while practicing hate with tools of fear. Don't curse or even talk where you have not yet sacred walked.
