Recompense

I love walking on a beach, anywhere, anyplace.

The New Revised Standard Version actually uses the word recompense in their translation. It is a pet idea of mine, related to the recent conviction that this present world will be renewed at the reconciliation of all things.

It's just a simple idea that as justice is due to those who harm and take life, so recompense is due to those victimized by injustice and violence.

It's a loving payback for time lost on earth. It's just an idea I like to think about when I think about 9/11/2001.
