Thought for today: 

“Nothing is more  unpleasant  than a virtuous person with a mean spirit.”  

Walter Bagehot [1826-1877]

Trash talk.
Apples and oranges.

Some music for your night.

Some music
for your day.

RECOVERY

Recovery is a season, 

not a one day resolution 

or a blurted out promise - 

because of a dirty ongoing disaster. 

It takes time. 

Even if it’s autumn or winter, 

it’s a springtime …. 

It’s when birds return, 

when green begins to bud, 

when windows are umphed open, 

and if we want tomatoes in season, 

we need to get out and hoe, 

dig and plant and water 

and put up fence 

to keep out the rabbits.

PRAYER …. BLUR

Trying to pray

here on the edge

of blur - waiting in the quiet -

sitting sort of in the shadows

of my life - sorting out nexts -

knowing - that sometimes -

because of similar moments

in my past - YOU come

around the corner -

like a car coming up a dark street

at two or three in the morning ….
