A friend of mine has a new book out!
Samir Dawlatly has written a lovely collection of reflections on the parables of Jesus- poetry and prose. You can get hold of the book, or download it from Proost, here. Highly recommended- simple, profound twists to allow us to look again at the words of Jesus from a different direction.
Here is a wee sample;
Blood in Water (Luke 13:20-21)
Love
Is like
A drop of blood
In a glass of water
Though there’s only
A tiny drop
Of blood
It completely changes
The appearance
Of the whole glass
Of water
this fragile tent 
Thanks Chris. This example is beautiful and makes me want more :-)))
The beauty in the simplicity of this example, is stunning. Like Philomena, it invokes a thirst in me for more.
Keep it coming Sam – the world needs your talent for fresh interpretation – and thanks for what you are awakening our souls with.
Thanks Chris and friends for your kind words.
I will check with proost if they mind if a few more short examples leak out…

Thanks for your kind comments Chris and friends.
I will check to see if the publishers don’t mind if the odd short poem leaks out from time to time…
Peace
Sam
