12:25 Endless

The Love of Jesus is endless.

Their Love for me is endless.

Jesus is Love.

Jesus is Life.

So, must my Life be endless?

Life's self-Love is endless.

Villanelle: What All Words Mean February 2018

Can I write a villanelle about my Love

(Love's name not discreet I should reveal)?

That might be kind of hard.—What rhymes with Love?


Through years of scribbled valentines I strove

and agonized, and now I’ve placed the stele

to scrive a villanelle about my Love.


Alas, my Love, and dost thou me reprove

(your doughty fisherqueer with open creel)

to pose this queery deep—What rhymes with Love?


But diligent as Psyche's ants I'll prove

and into your affections softy steal

by singing a villanelle about my Love.


Then we’ll give thanks unto the gods above,

who in our dalliance make themselves real

and help us know the words that rhyme with Love.


And what an ever-tasted nectar trove,

when we had lingered at this endless meal!

I could write my villanelle about my Love when I realized that all words mean My Love.

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!

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...
