Re: PASSING THE CUP
Hi Soul Builder -- yeah...I'm easing back into the stream of things.  Got some new meds that I am getting acquainted with.  I'm beginning to feel like a walking ad for "better living through chemistry."  joab

Re: Good writing. (Sorry about my post & colors. Here is a plain version)
Thank you so much.  I tried to e-mail you but ran into some difficulty, so you must have been reading my mail in another manner.  I have copied your words to another file for safekeeping, so, if and when I am forced for space, they are deleted, you'll know where they repose.  You are an excellent writer; and you think, not simply regurgitate what your mind has ingested.  Always refreshing to read you.  Shalom.  Joab.

Good writing. (Sorry about my post & colors. Here is a plain version)

a veneer of decorum, even courtesy

hides the venality, bestiality, insatiability of our rapine ways

as we speak words of wisdom, even peace

 

this exquisite veil, over democracy

is held inch by inch, by you, me, him and her ... shall we tear

this veil asunder, even violently?

 

no, we cannot, even as our nemesis does

we crave to release this smooth-skinned angel, cherubim of another time

by releasing the veil knots we have made, even now hold

 

O why hide inside a veneer, when Shalom could be near!

we have those weapons given us by Mothers, Fathers of Ahimsa, Gandhi

prayer, fasting, meditating and cleansing, even one by one
