IF ALL WERE BLIND

If all were blind,  what would life be like?

Would marriages  be better?

Would prejudices take on newer forms?

Would fat people have different inner self-talk?

Would theology or God-talk be different?

What would wars be like?

If all were blind, what would life be like?

YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET

 WHAT YOU WANT!

You can’t always get 

what you want - but 

it's better to keep trying. 

Sometimes the menu 

doesn’t have what 

it says it has…. 

Sometimes the other person 

just doesn’t do what you 

thought they were going to do. 

Sometimes today doesn't 

turn out the way you thought 

today would turn out. 

But sometimes it does, so 
how are you doing with the way 
your day is going so far?

Thought for today: 

“There was so  much  handwriting on the wall /  That even the wall fell down.”  

Christopher Morley [1890-1957], 

Around the Clock  [1943]

JETTY

The stone black granite jetty

screamed, “Oh no, not again!”

Yes, again and again, the

ocean waves kept coming….

“You’d think I’d get a break

now and then. Oh no never.”

“And people come here day

after day - to feel, to see,  to pray …..

“But nobody thinks of me -

just wave after wave after wave.

“Well,” said the jetty, “it’s better

being rock than being sand …..

“But that’s slowly happening with

crashing wave after wave after wave….

Thought for today: 

“Do not use  a  hatchet to remove a fly 

from your friend’s forehead.” 

Chinese Proverb

WAITING

I look to see if you’re

coming up the street.

No it’s not you yet -
so with my left hand -

I’m a leftie  - I let go

of the curtain and wait.

I look at my left hand -
it’s the same hand

that waved good-bye

two years ago when

you left and walked

down  the street.

I open up the curtain

again - I’m still waiting.
