Fallow 242

The sun is shining
Some clouds decorate the sky
Seems the storm has passed

Work started early
Though now it's time for a nap
Dreams calling me back

They were astounding
Like a called shot Hope answered
Then echo amazed

Golden arrow grace
Beyond what I could muster
But I always try

With a heart for God
Feet firmly set in nonsense (/this realm)
We're unthwartable

With dazzling Hope
And my soulmate forever
eep starts to be seen

Filtering to view
Perhaps more like a stir fry
Of chicken and rice

I can see it now
The stakes and mindless (mindful) stitches
Perfect counterpoints

Step by Step On The Open Ocean

"Gentlemen, prepare Yes, there is danger ahead But we are heroes. Written in our code It is in our DNA We've earned skin and scars These seas of logic Are full of 'paradoxes' We have dynamite. We sail through winter Eyes scanning for a Spring Day On the horizon Omelas be damned. Let waves wash worst days from mind Best are yet to come We seek a shared realm With no more dream(s) to distract Though they might buoy Our blood sweat and tears Will be worth each step taken Our footfalls swear it They say 'life goes on' Perhaps it does on some shore Here, we claim the NOW!"

Those that could, stepped back and resealed their skin suits. Other than that, nothing happened. That was how World War III ended that night. Sweet dreams."

Love even your worst enemy

I just pictured a scenario which made me consider the function of mercy in the absence of sin, and in the presence of good deeds. Jesus has the power to forgive sins on earth (specifically he said the Son of Man, perhaps speaking of more than one here, as with "The Lord of the Sabbath", etc) Matthew 9:6 "'But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.' So he said to the paralyzed man, 'Get up, take your mat and go home.'" Mercy is the willing adjustment of the result of a judgement to the benefit of the one judged. Perhaps the mechanism God spoke of in the Old Testament, that included a benefit or blessing if his people did not sin, in addition to layers of curses if they did sin, were meant to demonstrate this mercy is valid, as a function of adjustment, even in the absence of sin. Deuteronomy 28:1-2 "If you fully obey the  Lord  your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the  Lord  your...
