acute awareness

We met,
I cut him down,
and his shade as it passes on the wind
shuns my walk.

something to shoot for

O God, who, among the many marvels
of Your Grace in the New World,
 did cause to blossom on the banks of the Mohawk
 and of the St. Lawrence,
 the pure and tender Lily,
 Kateri Tekakwitha,
 we thank You, the favor we begged
through her intercession,
that this Young Lover of Jesus
 and of His Cross
will now be counted
among the Saints of Holy Mother Church,
and that our hearts may be enkindled
 with a stronger desire
to imitate her innocence and faith.
Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Canonized officially on October 21, 2012

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, pray for us.

       poem by patrick healy who commented on the mayhem created by a computer glitch on wall street....i don't care what any one says-  these are romantic times

found on a stick-em with prescription logo offering D Seldane-D (terfenedine 6 0 mg. and pseudoephedrine HCl 120 mg) that fell from a book

Tend your sick ones,  O Lord Jesus Christ;
rest your weary ones,
bless your dying ones,
soothe your suffering ones,
pity your afflicted ones,
shield your joyous ones...
And all for your love's sake.

     St. Augustine of Hippo

saith Tabriz

Both ecstasy and sobrie­ty in love!                                                         






             

The oblivion is of two kinds;

one is forget­fulness of the world

which makes us forget first about the memory

then about the future world;

 the other way of oblivion is preoccupation

with thoughts of the future world,

so that one forgets oneself as well,

 and one plays with the world

 as a cat plays with a mouse.

Through association with a man of God,

he has obtained a position - that of Shaykh, 

what after thir­ty years of prayer could never obtain.

 The third way of forgetfulness is love for God,

so that man forgets both this world

and the future world;

 this is the meaning of the saying:

"This world is forbidden to men of the future world,

and the future world is forbidden to men of this world;

and both, this world and the future world,

are forbidden to men of God (A saying of the Prophet);

 that is, that he should forget everything but God;

Mawlana (Rumi) enjoys ecstacy in love;

for him there is no sobriety in love,

but for me there is both ecstasy and sobrie­ty in love.

For me there is no such oblivion in drunken­ness;

how does the world dare to conceal me with a veil

 or to be concealed from me with a veil?

lisa karpova seems to think...

By creating sex symbols, who are sponsored and obedient to the American government, the world population has been controlled for decades and is still being controlled. Kim Khardashian is an example of a sex symbol, she became a big success, so-called star after her sex tape was supposedly leaked to the world. It was all pre-planned, there were no leaks. She was been moulded into a sex symbol to serve the imperialistic aims of the US. I use the term 'so-called' because I never knew about her until a couple months back.

strange challenge

Write books only
if you are going to say in them
the things you would never dare
 to confide with anyone.
