i have gone through my email and have read a few posts.  it’s time.  time to be grateful and thankful to God as i clean.  in the thankfulness i enter into relationship with my God.  time to clean the skunk smell from the garage and the side of my car…and the cat.  God will speak to me today, as i clean, wash the dishes, cook, put away clothes, do laundry, as i am grateful.

orange cat is going to the beach
he hates to get wet
but he likes to nap in the sun
and maybe read a good cat tale

It is because I am Beat, that is, I believe in beatitude and that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son to it… Who knows, but that the universe is not one vast sea of compassion actually, the veritable holy honey, beneath all this show of personality and cruelty?^[6]

move and wag tongue
while breath flows
out of the body
causing different
sounds to
relate thoughts

make little squiggles
and put with other
little squiggles to make
a picture of thoughts

put hands, fingers
and arms into
certain positions
to show thoughts

what’s in a word at the high calling

short for Lenten, 


from O.E. lencten “spring,” the season,


from W.Gmc. *langa-tinaz (cf. O.S. lentin, M.Du. lenten, O.H.G. lengizin manoth),


from *lanngaz (root of O.E. lang “long“) + *tina-, a root meaning “day” 


(cf. Goth. sin-teins “daily”), cognate with O.C.S. dini, Lith. diena, L. dies “day.” 


the compound probably refers to the increasing daylight. 






Church sense of “period between Ash Wednesday and Easter” is peculiar to Eng.

a little somethin’
one bite at a time
God feeds us
with His presence
where ugly turns lovely
right before our eyes
leaves of green
a sky of blue
He stirs
and spoons
His glory to our lips
