There is something wrong with the world.

We all know this.

We all feel this.

What can be done?

And what do we do

when nothing can be done?

Lament: before God,

and wait.

Giants cower at the sound of a bird.
Amnesiac clowns march unafraid.
Demons laugh.
Angels cry.
The world groans and heaves in the impossible present awaiting its ineluctable future.
Come, Lord Jesus.

Someone has put an immodest photo on the follower part of this page. I am sorry. I am trying to get rid of it.

Woe
upon woe
upon woe.

Sensitive is too mild of a word for it, really

Please read this excellent article on being kind to folks with chemical sensitivities. It is written by my friend, Sherri Connell.

Really?

"He's so patient with you."
"Well, yes, when there is an audience."
"Oh..."

Impossible weight,
crushing,
pulverizing,
punishing,
scorching,

hollowing out,
burning up,
leaving out,
blowing up.
