After Philippians 2:5-11
What is this life
what is the definition that
cuts away the fluff and
the adverbial adjectives,
that brings the truth
forward into the light? It
begins with equality –
the idea that equality is
not to be grasped, not
to be sought. That’s step
one. Step two: empty self
of self, allow it to drain
away, self replaced by
servanthood, service,
serving others, with serve
being the opposite of self.
Step three: humility, not
without a point or purpose,
but to be obedient, sitting
in the lifelong classroom
called obedience. Like
the author of good news,
we give up the right
to be right.
