a small gathering perplexed perhaps vexed no intrigued and staring at the wall led by a heavenly creature a woman arrayed in business armor or the attire of maybe a teacher it was houndstoothed and pressed right down to her stocking clad calves and up to her so uptight she had discovered upon the wall a shadow or smudge that could if one squinted become the image of a sage or Philosopher so many would try to savor as one might a miracle? as I approached she looked at me with John three sixteen eyes I looked back Matthew twenty-five thirty-one to thirty-six Pity she hadn't seen the shadows of Rwanda if she strains to see perhaps a map of Sudan might appear |

in Revelation to us all... (couldn't resist) make me tell you about maps in faces someday...before Botox fills the valleys and the surgeons become Gods--or izzit too late already? sighs and hugs I should sleep. Thank you for this one, (and with biblical reference I know and understand! yay!) I sleep. I hope. |

Reb, not only do you provide from what was, but you bring forth thought of what is. And in my personal life, you also opened a new window. Thank you for that. |

Peace to all... and thanks. I'll be back as soon as I'm done taking care of my Federal and State membership dues -- some of it will undoubtedly do some good somewhere. |
