While We Sleep

VIOLET Starscape

How dare the day change at Midnight!
Are we not the author of dawn?
The painter of the stars, the guardian of the moon?
Is it we who smile on earth, in sunbeams, at the dawn?

Or are we simply grains of sand reflecting light;
Grinding slowly into earth,
Its precious minerals?

Holes

Concealer cannot
fill the holes
that nature’s wrought;
render them pools
of everlasting life!

Rogue on the Road to Rhode Island

Quicksilver switches gears from Silver Path to Silver GPS

Quicksilver switches gears from Silver Path to Silver GPS

Rogue on the Road to Rhode Island
(departure:8AM)

Don programmed the GPS for 13 Sherman St.Newport,RI.
It calculated we would arrive at 12:38PM
But we skittered through Mass on the toll road,
And the robot continued to steer us back to the country routes.

It calculated we would arrive at 12:38PM
But, using the toll road, we parked at 11:24!
Speed limit on I90 was 65mph; in Conn: 30mph!

But we skittered through Mass on the toll road
First E, then N, then E;the robot voice ignored.
She never voiced her rage; calmly plotted on.

And the robot continued to steer us back to the country routes
U turns, hills, a satellite view from the clouds;
And we, like arrows, found our mark, stealthily on the ground.

ARCHITECTURE in a family name

forest2

The Architecture in a family name:

My life guard’s name is “Forrest”;
His brother’s name: “Wilder”,
Other brother: “Hunter”,
Fourth is “North”.
Do you see a pattern?

Their mother is a song writer!
She struck a lyrical note with each sibling.
Sang her New England,
Borders of Canada, Wind Song!

Who is this Spirit?

HolySpirit

Minister of God’s Compassion
John 15:26-27, 14:15-18. 14:26, 16:5-16

I will send you the Comforter
He will come to you from the Father,
Tell you all about me;
He is the source of all truth.

He will come to you from the Father;
He’s been with me from the beginning:
Comforts you in doubt, despair and affliction.

Tell you all about me;
Gives you wisdom to examine your life
See past denial and self deception.

He is the source of all truth:
Reveals the teachings of Jesus,
Guides you to justice and truth.

Little Spelunker 5

7-11Oliver&Owen

Can you wear his hat?
Mountain bike like that?

Skateboard, build, and climb?
Stop upon a dime?

Struggle through a maze?
Triumph in a haze?

Clean the mess?
Imagine, guess?

Bunker?
Spelunker?
