12:17 Highway

King's Highway

Isaiah 35:8: And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The Way of Holiness; . . .it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

There is the highway
And the homemade loving kind,
And the highway's mine.
And us ramblers are getting the traveling done.
Your fathers built with stones
That stand and shine.
Heaven's where you find it, and you can't
Take too much with you.
But, Daddy, don't you listen:
It's just the highway talkin'. Townes Van Zandt

When the time gets right, I'm gonna pick you up
And take you far way From trouble, my Love
Under a big ol' sky Out in a field of green
There's gotta be something
Left for us to believe 

Oh, I await the day
Good fortune comes our way
And we ride down the Kings Highway-ay-ay. Tom Petty

All things that are alive Are brothers in the soil And in the sky.
And I believe it with my blood, If not my eyes.
I don't know why we can't Be brothers here. I know we should be. Answers don't dome easy. And I'm wonderin' if they could be. Townes Van Zandt

11-30 Again

So, it's Advent again! Yo vengo. Tu vienes. El/Ella/Usted venie. Nosotros/Nosotras venimos. Vosotros/Vosotras venis. Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes vienen. As usual, the males come first. So, come along now! But it's not the Second Coming yet--or is it? At seventy-four, I doubt if I'd have the stamina. My loom has few warp threads left. Anyway, what's the gender of the Christ [Who?] comes? Come again? I'd rather be a pestle than a mortar, praise the Lord!

12:6 Day: That'll Be the Day

Yonder come day. Look at the sky! How these last days seem to fly! Just a few more days we'll have to cry. There'll be much better days by and by. Judgment Day? I think it's a lie! Hot summer days. Let's get high! I see a new day in your eye. God's birth day is nigh!

12-3 Quietness: The Comforter Has Come

Blessed Quietness , Manie Payne Ferguson, 1897 1 Chronicles 22:9-10 Joys are flowing like a river since the Comforter has come, who abides with us forever, makes the trusting heart a home. I just need to turn off my thoughts for my heart to be trusting, to feel the Comforter inside me. And especially turn off the news and stop looking at Facebook! David's reign was fraught with enemies so that he could not build a house in God's name because of all the blood he'd shed. But God spoke to him and said: Behold, a child shall be born to thee, who shall bring thee sheqet -- quietness and tranquility-- rest from all enemies round about: for their name shall be Solomon (Peace, Shalom), and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in their days. People ranting about ICE attacking Somali immigrants in Minneapolis-- many comments in favor. Shekket! Shut up!  Du, Papageno, schweige still! ( Dare I remember?-- Quiet, piggy!) OK, I'm meditating now. Blessed quietness, holy quietness...
