MRS. HARRIS GOES TO
PARIS
Mrs. Harris goes to Paris.
It rhymes: Harris / Paris.
Last night we watched a great movie:
Mrs. Harris goes to Paris.
She goes to get a Dior dress.
A loud message I got was:
“When do some women
start to feel invisible”?
It happened to her as she got older.
After watching the movie it got me to see
the women in my life.
Which ones are invisible?
And, “When does this happen
to the women I know?
Those I live and work with?
Who are the one’s I don’t see?

DECREES
He spoke in decrees – pronouncements.
It took a while for others to get this.
They would be wondering why did
this person irk them so? Pronouncements ….
It was these Moses like statements that
came down from the mountain – whenever
he came into the room. Whether it was
the weather or motives or what have you.
It was these dang pronouncements. Oops!
I just made a pronouncement – myself.
It’s catchy. Oops there’s another one.

OUTSIDE
We find ourselves outside more than inside –
in stories and conversations and situations.
Sometimes we try to get inside the mystery –
if that is what we think it is – or we are simply
nosey. We just want to know! That’s it. Yes.
Or we give up and move onto something else.
Little kids do that all the time. Next. The new ….
Or what’s really happening – maybe – is our
desire to be on the inside? Wondering – just
wondering – are the first moments after we
die – a gathering of questions – the inside?
God. Life. Others. The why question has
to be one of life’s main question. Why’s that?
