SOME PRAYERS

Some prayers are said,

but let’s be honest,
sometimes neither 
the speaker nor the SPOKEN TO

hears the words and

the sentiments. So, God,

urge me, to try, try again.

HOPE

Hope is a blue diamond - 

the most valuable diamond

in the world - but it comes

with a blessing and it comes

with a curse. Sometimes

we get what we want

and  sometimes we find out

we can’t handle not getting

or getting the hope

we were hoping for.

BOOK  OF  KELLS

Good news written on calf-skin ….

Did those calves know - while

grazing in the fields - that they

would last  from the 800’s till

now - under glass - in the Old
Library at Trinity College in 
Dublin? Tourists grazing and 
gazing on beauty - words 
becoming flesh - copied in gold - 
red lead - yellow arsenic sulphate - 
inspiring all of us to love

one another as Jesus taught us -

realizing goats - besides sheep -

can make it into the Book of Life.

Thought for today: 

“Sometimes - there’s God - so quickly.”  

Blanche says just that 

in  A  Streetcar Named Desire, 

by Tennessee Williams.
