Another address to the Nobility

It all starts in a silence in the distance,
All that moves is the inner reason
He feels trapped, deceived, without true existence,
Enslaved only to mechanism.
Seduced and captured by the institution,
Indebted to constant debtors
Slavery a cage with no absolution,
Visible to a world which is weary.

The cry starts as a strangled roar of thunder,
That seems to re-split the curtain.
Remembering the liberation wonder,
That was already freely given.
The fight begins for enlightenment new,
For an original covenant.
One that it craves and is long overdue
Saturated by equality.

The revolutionary buries the living with the pain
The thread of remorse strains not breaking.
No treatment or condition that is too humane
Is without mercy to be given
Until the purpose, and comfort are gained
The wisdom shows the error of ways
But already the institution is restrained
And no one knows if there is lasting grace.

And silence once more has begun to descend
Calm and constant for one generation
The objective was peace to the final end
Freedom, adoration and the heart
But already beneath, the calm cool is breaking
Newly discontented hearts, minds and souls
It is not that liberations is awakening
But that the perception of it has changed.
















Mais uma Tese

O começo é silencio e na distancia,
Nada mais mexe do que razão interior
Ele se senti preso, enganado, sem existência.
Escravizado pelo mecanismo
Seduzido e capturado pela instituição
Devendo ainda pra devedores constantes.
Escravidão uma gaiola sem absolvição
Visível por um mundo fatigado.

O clamor começo como um trovão estrangulado
E a cortina parece racha mais uma vez
Lembrando a maravilha de libertação
Ganhado de graça.
A luta pela iluminação nova está começando
Pela uma aliança original
Uma que ele almeja que está atrasado
Saturado pela igualdade

O revolucionário enterra os vivos com a magoa
O fio de remorso esticada, mas não quebrada
Não tem tratamento e condição humano de mais
Que pode ser dado com misericórdia
Até ganhado são propósito e conforto.
A sabedoria mostra os erros
Mas a instituição já está contido
E ninguém mais sabe se tem graça

E o silencio desce mais uma vez
Calmo e contentamento por mais uma geração
Os objetivos era paz no final
Liberdade, adoração a aquele coração.
Mas, embaixo da calma já tem fenda,
Tem corações, almas e mentes descontentes.
Não é que liberdade está renascendo
Só que a percepção dele mudou
Mais uma vez.

Man, Brazil has a lot of bank holidays. THANK the LORD. This month of November there are two coming up, and to be honest, we need them. There are loads of exciting things happening in the next month or two, but it means that we are snowed under with preparation and kids, loving it, but add that to a particularly busy time at seminary handing in essays and such, means that I am a little fed up, and a little more than a little tired. This week has been particularly hard, and at the start of the week on Monday made we want to cry that it wasn't already Friday, but then I was blessed, and blessed again (with the help of our awesome teens) and have been blessed all week, and have made it to Wednesday without incident, and with several good days at the project, so I think I'm going to make it! On Sunday we had an amazing time at Children's day, we rented 5 different 'games' for the kids, two trampolines, two bouncy castles and one ballpit for the little ones and it was a

We have moved into our new space! Giving thanks! Especially since we have managed to go down from four services to two services, since in our new temporary home in the side hall we have more space for more people, although having said that, the services were full and we might have to add a third service. The worship band is nervous, it's a long day for them and the teaching pastor! Since we have moved into the side hall there are some new challenges that we need to over come and of course the first weeks will be trying to resolve any issues big or small. This week we realised that the air conditioning isn't enough and that the exit is a bottle neck. These are issues we can fix, small fiddly things, our bigger problem is that in between services someone tried to break in through our back door, which is not as secure because of the building project. This alongside some beaurocratic paperwork has taken away a little from the joy of the blessing of the new space. But, ultimate

Wednesday: I'm writing this from a hammock

Tid Bit about living in Recife: In the UK, even in London and larger cities, I don’t think that we really have a full understanding of what Noise Pollution is, or how it can affect you, both positively and negatively. For example, last night when really, all I wanted to do at 3.30am was sleep, I was kept awake by fireworks and by the fact that this community has finally discovered Despacito and was playing it on a loop (although I must say that this is quite rare for the community here. They don’t usually have parties until 5am, and the whole place is abuzz with the scandal this morning). Despacito is just universally a cruel tune. So, yes, there are times that it seems quite unfair to have to adjust your body clock along with others who have made the decision for you! On the other hand, I must say, thanks to the light and the movement and the music in the mornings, I find that I wake up much easier and much happier, it feels more natural, the cocks crow at sun-up (they really do!) an
