A Writing Prompt
[Editor's Note: I wrote this in a reflection on the Black Fatigue conversation currently sweeping social media. This incident happened forty years ago and is vivid in my memory. I believe the woman in the fitted blue suit--her name is Dannice, it came to me yesterday morning--would be hurt and distressed at where we've landed … Continue reading A Writing Prompt
For The Record
Ah, as I log in to start this rant, I’m invited by Google to test their new AI. Thanks, no. Wonder if the invitation will be repeated after this post. Realized I needed to provide a little clarity with this blog, for the benefit of its dozens of readers and, as I imagine it, for … Continue reading For The Record
Three Dot Theology…
Forgive me Readers for I have slothed. I'm in the midst or middle, betwixt or between something or other, life-wise. The book I promised myself to deliver goes on under the lash, but an instinct tells me keep it mum until complete. Meanwhile, my urge to keep this blog afloat calls out for some fresh … Continue reading Three Dot Theology…
Deep Breath
That’s funny, I thought to myself as I reread these blog postings from Introduction thru Air Quotes and really it was odd it hadn’t popped out at me before, conscious as I am of everything I’m putting out to the world through this latest exercise in writing, writing with purpose for the first time on … Continue reading Deep Breath
Bob Wins The Big One
Bob Dylan has won the 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature. Somebody tell Watson. They seemed close. The grizzled pitchman for Cadillac, Pepsi, Victoria Secret and IBM has been awarded the highest prize in Literature, for “having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.” Well, duh. Or, they could just ask the 98% … Continue reading Bob Wins The Big One
Masked & Synonymous
Bob Dylan is still the 2016 Nobel Laureate for Literature. It wasn’t LSD in the water or a viral hoax or a rip in the Matrix. The Swedish Academy, two words in their current iteration without a hint of masculinity, showed some stones. They just got the category wrong. The Nobel should have been for … Continue reading Masked & Synonymous
Sherry
Ran into Sherry again this morning, this time at the Post Office. I see her now and again, usually outside of St Mary’s Church in Walnut Creek. She is always alone. Often, she wears a green and white ceramic rosary as a necklace. She keeps the three or four stuffed travel bags that are her … Continue reading Sherry
’60S Love
Today’s topic was furnished by my Dear One, who responded to my musing out loud–talking to myself, in geezerspeak–with jack rabbit reflex: ’60’s Love. Did you mean, ahem, relations between people in their sixties? No, no, the 1960’s! Love in the hippie days! Whew. Now that I know my working imagination will be engaged with … Continue reading ’60S Love
Oops…
What a revoltin’ development this is. Out of nowhere, and I swear I didn’t see this coming, I got old. Like, old old, walking slow, aching feet, shoulders, neck old. And then serious old, call the doctor immediately if you have these symptoms old. I’ll spare you the details. Chances are, you have pretty pictures … Continue reading Oops…
Founder’s App
This isn’t a secret. We’re screwed. America’s political mechanism is broken. We are in danger of devaluing, to the point of scrap, the one American asset most of the world truly envies: The Ballot. Other countries have elections, but to Americans the ballot is at the core of our national identity. Our precious freedom attained … Continue reading Founder’s App
Think Of It This Way
To speak a lie is to spit at Christ To affirm a lie is to wink at His Passion To spread a lie is to spend the Silver To lie is to spit at Christ
Fake Good News
Isn't everything that we hear which is not in accord with the Good News, a lie? When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. That is how the Enemy is described by Jesus, not only as a liar himself, but as the … Continue reading Fake Good News
The Tares in Power
Why am I so hard on Republican Christians? This is why. If you are a true Christian, no, let me say it this way, you are only a true Christian if you have been broken by Christ. Period. That is the benchmark. If you have not been flat on your face, or curled up into … Continue reading The Tares in Power
Jesus, As A Matter Of Fact
*Authors Note: This post is in its larval state, dear Readers, but we won't wait for a mountable Imago. We're going to leave it up in plain view and watch the metamorphosis together. What we should notice first is growth, segment on segment. We'll keep the temperature constant, if we can. We'll note when the color changes. As … Continue reading Jesus, As A Matter Of Fact
