The ragged pieces of ideas and thoughts of my attempt to live a life as a contemporary monastic in the urban city of Singapore..
From Desert , to Fertile field, to a Forest!
At work today, we read Isaiah 32:15 which says "till the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the desert becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field seems like a forest."
I thought if I am a bald man, this verse will fill me with hope more than if I'm not. So no matter how much we think we are okay, it is important to realise that we are in some form of desert and having some form of dryness. And only in that state, when the Spirit comes, will there be hope, abundance and the joy of empowerment. Let's not be proud or be defeated, let's have a vision of a forest.
