John Dunn original writing

A window on St John on Dr John Dunn.

Accept or reject

The connectedness of metaphors in John’s Gospel is particularly important. God is love and love is God the Father. A Father’s love for his children is unconditional, whether they love him back or not. Through Jesus we are presented with the Fatherly nature of God’s love for his children. It would seem that the real experience of Love is there to be accepted or rejected.

Love and creativity Love and creativity
The real and only meaningful opposition is between those whose banners bear the symbols of love and creativity and those devoid of love, life and humanity who would have us return to the One, the ‘amorphous state of pre-Eros, pre-Love and pre-Being’.
John Dunn

Just a thought: Transfiguration was rejected in favour of stagnation. The imposition of Jehovianism was accompanied by the crushing of Hellenism and its Platonic core. John Dunn (Renaissance: Counter-Renaissance)

“Seeking out historical places of interest has given me wonderful motorcycling opportunities over the years… roads and little lanes, through a variety of landscapes that bear the scars, marks and imprints of those that have trodden, worked and fought on the land before us.”

“Any excursion, whether it be by motorcycle, car, bicycle or on foot, is always better for having an object, or goal in mind. I could take no pleasure in riding around just for the sake of it. There has to be a mission.”

“I ride my motorcycle to seek out things ancient, quirky and monumental, taking in the views, and ‘reading’ the landscape,its geology and history, as I do so.”
