GEE, MC!
YOU ONE SELFISH
SELF-ABSORBED
BITCH!
Isn't it funny
How others
Problems
Are always
BIGGER
Than mine,
And of much
More SERIOUS
Than mine;
Which is
Basically why
They don't have
The TIME
(their's being,
of course,
scarcer
and more
precious
than mine)
To waste
(such a CRIME)
In bothering
To drop me
A line,
Or just return
A smile.

Morning woke me with the quiet assurance of renewal.
There is a loophole in the non-interference accord that guarantees free-will, and that is trust, belief, and tranquil faith. This wonderful certainty is the gift.
Believe.

Celibacy and sobriety combined breed fanaticism of the worst kind. That is why I drink, see?

The deep religions always originated in arid countries unblessed by Bacchus:
Judaism and Islam in deserts, Bhuddism in India that did not have the divine Miss Vine. The Greeks make shit wine that is why they spread Christianity.
NB Greek wine is caled RETSINA, and it's so bad that only the Spartans used to drink it as a test of ultimate manhood, or they gave it to their enemies as a form of torture.

CONTINUATION OF A WEIRD CONVERSATION WITH IVAN!
Our senses are rooted in the flesh, which in turn feeds the brain, seat of our intellect; but the part of us that "believes" is the little insane particle that KNOWS we a cell of God's living flesh of light.

We speak of God's silence when faced with the unspeakable, we blame "dark angels". We forget the great Covenant between every man and every God ever spoken of or dreamed: Free Will.
We are not, and cannot - must not - be saved from the consequences of acts of free will. Think of it. God cannot intervene, nor stretch out a hand. It cannot be, or we become no more than shadow puppets, obedient to His will, yes; safe and protected, oh yes...But no longer real. And God's great pain is loneliness, is it not? And if we become extensions of His will, every conversation is no more than mouthings before an imperfect, distorting mirror; He would be robbed even of love. Who can love a toy, stripped of will, and grief and joy? So we continue unsafe, embittered by that freedom, loved and loving by a God who insists on making us free that we may grow into Him.

PRAYER
It is a dance:
Bare foot,
Raised hands,
Hair loose
In tangled strands.
And every word
Of praise
Is the slap-slap
Of bare feet
On uncertain ground,
Every whisper
Summoning grace
The clapping of hands
Besides the tilted face.
We dance
To call to witness,
Our innermost selves,
We dance
And as the tender gaze
Of the One
Rest on us,
We rise On our
Dizzy toes
And spin.
Oh we spin
We hitch
That tenuous
String of Faith
To the
Universe's Dream
And become
Spinning-top joy
Freedom
Echoing
The shape
Of the ALL:
With floating hair,
With belling skirt,
With singing love.
