Perhaps his spiritual Abba<\/em>
Would’ve also become a Sabba<\/em>;
Thus Christendom would have worshipped
Neither a celibate youth
Nor a gnostic Don Juan.<\/p>\n
They would have gladly accepted Yeshu
As a mensch<\/em>.
For in a wise old man
Kindness, experience, tolerance and humour
Are the ingredients of Love.<\/p>\n\n
