    When what they really need is
    Your understanding.
    Faith is believing what you know ain't so - Mark Twain

    The preachers deal with men of straw, as they are men of straw themselves - Henry David Thoreau

    The way to see faith is to shut the eye of reason - Benjamin Franklin

    The teaching of the church, theoretically astute, is a lie in practice and a compound of vulgar superstitions and sorcery - Leo Tolstoy

    your understanding
    random empathy, worthless
    without a focus
    Then we sat on the edge of the earth, with our feet dangling over the side, and marvelled that we had found each other.

    without a focus
    there remains little purpose
    for doing anything
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    for doing anything
    that is thought to be worthwhile
    requires your heart

    [though I have never 'met' you previously, a warm welcome back, verybaddmom!]
    Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty

    Requires your heart
    Racing and palpitating
    Edging toward the edge.
    As Kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame . . .


    Why disqualify the rush? I'm tabled. I'm tabled.

    Edging toward the edge,
    breathless and dizzying...
    Spread your wings and fly.

    Spread your wings and fly
    And, unlike poor Icarus
    watch out for the sun

    That blossomed too late....
    petals dropped, unnoticed by
    she who long waited.

    a belief in unseen things,
    all unprovable.

    all improvable—
    as if forbidden knowledge—
    conspiracy, think?

    Conspiracy-think...
    a concept that disguises
    one's man's behaviour.
