So spake the wise man in his mind,
where he sat apart in counsel.
Good is he who keeps his faith,
And a warrior must never speak
his grief of his breast too quickly,
unless he already knows the remedy-
a hero must act with courage.
It is better for the one that seeks mercy,
consolation from the Father in the heavens,

Disconnection connects–
for without noise,
one can listen
for the most important Voice.
The Wanderer
by U2 (starring Johnny Cash)
I went out walking
Through streets paved with gold
Lifted some stones
Saw the skin and bones
Of a city without a soul
I went out walking
Under an atomic sky
Where the ground won’t turn
And the rain it burns
Like the tears when I said goodbye
Yeah I went with nothing
Nothing but the though [...]
To the Moon…Sort of

Friend. ”Did you know there is more computing power in an i-Phone than there was in the Apollo missions to the Moon?”
NorEaster. ”But an i-Phone can’t take you to the Moon.”
Less is more.

Honest sinners
make better friends
than false saints–
who shoot the wounded.

Safer am I
among the unforgiven
than I am

O Lord,
the fires of my youth
have become a burning
anguish at my age.
Revive my soul.
Renew my strength.
Grant me the conviction
to seek You with sincerity.
Though I am poor,
make me rich in faith.
And when my heart aches
bandage my wounds.

Fanaticism forsakes
identity. And self-
righteousness
consumes the self.

Better a question
in the light
than an answer
in the darkness.

I see the daylight ending.
I see the darkness spreading.
I see faith fading fast.
And few enduring…
…to the last.

I have been
through the fire before.
And I have the burns
on my broken heart
to prove it.
And time and time again,
the Refiner turns up the heat.
Though never have the flames
scorched so much as in
the silence of friends:
the gossip of traitors.
For there is as much wisdom in silence
as there is foolishness in gossip,
but greater understanding in listening
than there is in talking.
Still, [...]

bottle after bottle
he empties and
each and every

she’s
outside and
scraping the windshield
of
her green
station wagon with
crayons
and coloring
books in the back
an amber angel
glowing growing
in ocean night
definitive devil
sowing knowing
not insight
but lying dying
in dawn light

A gazelle is wise
to run from fire–
but a man walks willingly.
