54       Eggs and Ashes



                Get me
                  You never will
                     Or make me want to care
                        Or share
                           Your eco-attitudes
                              Until I feel
                                 You care for me.

                John Polhill





                Reusing


                Jesus our Saviour,
                take our rubbish,
                the greed indulged,
                the broken promises,
                anger, resentments.

                Take the long list of sin
                that warps our being,
                and weave your forgiving love
                that makes of waste
                a growing place.


                Chris Polhill




                The rich young ruler


                A rich man asked Jesus: ‘Good Teacher, what must I do to save the world?’


                ‘Why do you call me good?’ Jesus asked him. ‘No one is good except God alone.
                You know what the sustainability manual says: Do not waste water or energy, shop
                thoughtfully and use the recycling facilities.’
