Extravagant Waste

What is it?

A spoken word piece inspired by the story of Jesus’ anointing in Mark 14 and first performed at the IJM UK Pray for Justice event in Glasgow in 2019.

Extract:

What is she doing?
What’s in her hand?
Making a statement
Taking a stand
Why has she come here?
What’s her desire?
Extravagant waste
Spreading like fire

Ugly refrains
Poisonous thoughts
Misunderstandings,
Self-seeking plots

Jar broken open
Fragrance unleashed
Languid and weighty
With deep-seated peace
Filling this room
This wall-bounded space
Slipping out through the cracks
Not contained by this place…
