I asked

Från en andakt för engelska gäster 
(och svensktalande) 8 juni 2024.

This spring I sang a song in a choir and since then this line has remain in me;

”I asked the tree: Tell me about God. And it blossomed”

I started to ask others.

I asked the worms: Tell me about God

and they turned old leaves into nutritious soil.

I asked the tower sailor (tornseglarna) the same: Tell me about God.

They took a nap high up in the air

I went to the sea and asked an octopus (bläckfisk) the same question.

And with all her brains, 9 of them, one in the head and each in her eight arms grabbed my feets gently and her entire bodie turned into red.

Yes, I can go on and on asking like this. Gods creation has an language without words.

It´s time to listen to that language.

I asked a friend; Have you voted yet in the EU-election. ”No, not yet”, she answered. ”I think it´s difficult” Then I answered her; ”No, it´s not difficult. Choose the planet. Vote for Gods planet”

It´s time to love. It´s time to listen, God speaks through the creation. We can not stand at the sideline just looking how Gods creation is being crucified. It´s time to choose Gods planet. 

It´s time for care. It´s time for action.

And it´s time to beleive; We can. Yes, we can, make a difference! 

It´s time to cultivate hope.

So I asked the linden tree. How can I make a difference? And it just let all her seads dance away. Without fear. Without control. As if she just believed in the power of life. She wispered to me; "Just do it. Let go. And somewhere a tree will grow and the birds will sing in it"

Sprid på ba! Så funkar Guds rike. Sprid på ba! Gud välsignar det.

Let go. Let God.
