Wait

No more.

About this, do you have any questions?

n/o/ne

Is that “no” or “one”?

Which is it?

Yes.

None other. (Of which there is, wirklich.)

Ignosce mihi, pater, quia peccavi

Fred Phelps dies.

Waltzing winter into spring

right into spring light

Suffering roots love

Joseph. A good name.

You've got to love a good story.

Still...

what’s that?

Sun climbs, moves east, the iced dooryard remains hard and fast.

Rob McCall speaks about living way out on the two-lane bumpy roads of Maine.

The Muslim scholar wants us to remember that beauty is the invitation to leave thought and dwell watchfully with inner rest and contemplation.

God has left thought and slowly turns in music of mood encountering no expectation.

To be what is passing is to unsee God in a heart without external measurement.

Once touched by the light, there is only the remaining nap to fall into.

And through.
