Scripture of all sort has become an unhealthy fixation for me. Therefore I hereby swear that I am going to avoid reading or examining any form of scripture for one week.

Next Friday, if it seems good or necessary, I will extend this abstainence even longer.

In the meantime, I'm going to take Bucky Fuller's advice and dare to be naive.

If your brain still needs something to do...

Read poetry instead. To me it's a different way of getting at the same thing Scripture is trying to get to, and it's *assumed* that everyone's interpretation or experience of a poem is going to be different. I highly recommend the anthology Cries of the Spirit by Beacon Press for starters, or Marge Piercy.

What wonderful advice. I second this.
