The Shape of a Good Day

Reflection

The verse begins, “Not the perversities of others, not their sins of commission or omission, but his own misdeeds….” In its chapter, this image points toward bringing integrity into ordinary life. Rather than using change to create fear, the passage can sharpen tenderness for a life that cannot be held still. Because this is a historic English translation, test the teaching in experience rather than treating its wording as a demand for belief.
