I retain perfect anonymity cut from the confines of locality, parading neighbours are attained as mere strangers. Is this privilege not my birth bestowed to root readily quoting native code? I was not baptised to prosper, My feet are refused in foster. A heart so weary, denied a cradle conjoined with history. The canal trembles of overcast perpetual, its temples breathe routine rural ritual. Destiny dealt the exile hand below the monolith. My elders here held court 'fore trading frugality of fort, choosing an inoculated tomb. They gave countenance in a domestic heirloom. The cult of outside fails to seep thro' this threshold. To ambling field and orchard my loyalty is gold. "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |

You know, I have some very stout reasons why the word "excommunication" rings a very harsh tone in my ears. I won't get into detail here but let's just say I'll never understand why this is supposedly a "Godly" act. The wounds I have seen personally inflicted by those doing the excommunicating are far worse than any sin which may have brought forth the act in most cases. Just my two cents - very well written, Brian. Michael |
