Love (January)


[For Winsome Thomas] Bold banners bear the word LOVE on outside walls of the Old Customs House. They idle in the January breeze. Then a warning: SHOWING FOR A LIMITED TIME. Think of the thousands who would have been consoled had LOVE greeted them after the voyage. LOVE is an exhibition. But to love God and our neighbour as ourselves are commands, a reminder that we need to be reminded. Fairly often. We may make an exhibition of our love, but there’s a dizzy limit. We’ve limited time and resources. Next time we leave church may be in a box.
