Thought for today:
“When they boo you, you know they mean you.”
George Halas
on San Francisco,
his “favorite booing city,”
recalled on his death,
Oct. 31, 1983.

A yawn,
a universal, all languages, message,
like a crossing guard’s hand signal
to stop everything
and let another’s being to catch up
with itself and then get back to where
it was and where it was going.
Oh, “Hi!” and “Hello!”
“Now what were you trying to say?”

WALKING INTO
Walking into ….
Yes I do a lot of that in a lifetime.
Front doors, side doors, glass,
opened, closed, hesitant … doors ….
I look around: I see faces. Who’s there?
What’s there? Now
what? I pause.
Life …. I’ve been in a lot of places,
a lot of spaces, a lot of lives ….
Now what? How many more doors do I enter
before I'll then end up being carried out?
Ok, there is always the background music - while I trust in God there is no, “That’s it!”

PERPETUAL HELP
Now that’s quite a job description
for anyone to post: “Perpetual Help!”
To be there when one is a baby:
obviously. Every mother does that.
To be there when a couple runs
out of wine at their wedding: wonderful.
To be there when one has to carry their
cross to death on the hill called “Calvary”.
And to be doing that ever since for the
helpless, the hurting the shoeless. Amen.

Thought for today:
“Prayer for many is like a foreign land. When we go there, we go as tourists. Like most tourists, we feel uncomfortable and
out of place. Like most tourists, we
therefore move on before too long and go somewhere else.”
Robert McAfee Brown,
Introduction to John B.
Coburn,
Prayer and Personal Religion,
Westminster, 1967
