the sheets are clean
a humming bird
perched
on the top of a tree
against a cloudy
twilight
summer sky
there is thunder
the cat rests
amongst
the potted plants
on an outside
patio
as summer
marches on
slowly
peacefully
a respite
at last.

I have read the Hermetica
I have searched under every rock
embraced other universes
in my mind

I have questioned
found answers
questioned again
found other answers
yet still I am searching

The spirituality of my childhood
the innocent acceptance
the want with all my being
to be in favor with him
that we call God
the prayers, the friend
who they say is always with you

Standing to hear
Yahweh, I know you are near
in a Catholic church
with my family
as a child
where after communion
my father would kneel down
and put his head in his hands
was always a moving and comforting
sight

Perhaps right now
it is better
to revisit the spirituality
of my childhood
the secret one I had in my soul
that was fed by complete
belief, acceptance
and a face of God
that was a father
and a close friend.

Definition of Bless: To make holy by religious rite; sanctify. To make the sign of the cross over so as to sanctify. To invoke divine favor upon. To honor as holy; glorify. Bless the Lord. To confer well-being or prosperity on. To endow, as with talent. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ego, I bless you workday, I bless you Fear, I bless you The Unknown, I bless you Life Process, I bless you. Blessing can be a message of I bless you, I release you to your highest good. I trust in God’s plan. To bless someone rather then hold resentment, anger, disdain.... Is holy. It releases you, it releases them. This is my new prayer. This is my new coping mechanism. This is letting go and trusting. ~Jenny

Let Them Eat Frito Pie!

Amidst the government shut down orchestrated by a bunch of squabbling children playing dress-up on a Romanesque stage the third most popular yahoo story as of now is Frito Pie, and Anthony Bourdains dislike of it, an apology, as lovers of Frito Pie were outraged by his opinion of it we...are as much to blame if there where gods in a lofty palace above that in fact did have a care and hand in the comings and goings of man, surely at this point they would throw up their massive hands giving up all hope for us as they exclaim "Let them eat Frito Pie!" ~Jenny

Seneca quote (solitude and the crowd)

“Furthermore, we should often withdraw into ourselves; for mixing with persons of dissimilar natures throws into disorder our settled composure and wakens our passions anew, exacerbating whatever is weak in the mind and not properly healed. It is, however, necessary to combine the two things, solitude and the crowd, and to have recourse to them alternately: the former will make us long for people, the latter for ourselves, and the one will be a cure for the other: our distaste for the crowd will be cured by solitude, our boredom with solitude by the crowd.”

today I am studying Chopin & George sand what really is the truth? ~Jenny
