Mark's Gospel

Mark's Gospel

Observing this Gospel

recognizing the limits

of the mind

but also the possibilities

when an identity 

I Am

is also recognized..

Let's see what happens..!

One

The earthy John

is our sourcing voice

who speaks of water now

but soon the Holy Spirit

the Spirit I Am

as medium of baptism..

Immediately 
the newcomer

 was cast into wilderness

by the same Spirit
which the dove signified..

Then four fishermen

Immediately

joined the teacher

glimpsing I Am

as John had glimpsed:

the preparation for

fishers of men..

The father Zebedee

didn't protest
perhaps he had
long known I Am..

What followed

Immediately

was departure.. 

To where?  Capernium

for astonishing teaching

with authority of Truth
which commanded:  
Be Quiet..!

Impure spirits

were cleansed by

their confrontation with

Truth on display..

Then a series of healings

of fever and demons

with new recognitions..

Everyone was searching

but most not aware

that they already were 
the Truth I Am..

The teacher needed 

respite to pray

to fortify the clarity

of the Truth he bore..

Then a leper

cleansed with joy 

ignored teacher's caution

and spread the news..

And they came from

everywhere seeking
relief from their longing:
only to be found in

the Truth I Am..
