the servant in the Bible is the “trusted person” of the master, a relationship of collaboration and affection.

Calligraphy by Jeanne 1987
Consider Moses the servant of God (Nm 12:7)
and Mary who says: “Behold I am the handmaid of the Lord” (Lk 1 :38)
The servants vigilance is not one of fear, but of longing, and of waiting to go forth to meet the Lord who is coming”

#1
care-taker
embrace persons
too big for me to shoulder
they drop off my shoulder
and crash on the ground
broken.
I forget.
They are responsible for their happiness.
I am responsible for Jeanne’s.
And her health too.
I find home
and settle in for self-care
and its sister:
trust in God!

calligraphy by Jeanne
from Caroline Myss
We have embraced the idea of self-empowerment, but loved it when it just applied to us in our individual lives. Weaving ourselves back into the whole, and using the empowerment of ourselves collectively and realizing the power we have to co-create is a profound mystical truth. It’s not a small time mental acuity we use to get stuff – it’s not an ego-driven concept.
When we look at what’s happening, one way to approach it is through that truth that these predicaments, these crises we are in are somehow going to require all of us to navigate through, one way or another. Everything that is facing us requires all of us to transform within us. To see the world differently, to approach the world differently, individually within our lives, within ourselves, as an incredible act of personal and thus global transformation. This is what we’re going through.
It is a challenge – make no mistake about it. Especially as we see the world on fire – whether it’s on the streets or in the forests. Everything is engaging with that one message – we cannot not see it. We cannot avoid the messages around us any more that we are intimately connected to everyone, that we are each other’s caretakers.

novels include Farewell, My Lovely (1940),
The Little Sister (1949),
and The Long Goodbye (1953).
He said: “The most durable thing in writing is style, and style is the most valuable investment a writer can make with his time. It pays off slowly, your agent will sneer at it, your publisher will misunderstand it, and it will take people you have never heard of to convince them by slow degrees that the writer who puts his individual mark on the way he writes will always pay off.”

The Golden Shovel or the last word of every line is a sentence
The sentence:
Wear the sanctuary, the arc of the covenant, as your robe, strength, light, and power.
Poem:
Of all I choose to wear
I choose the
holy sanctuary
whose tent carries the arc of the covenant,
my most sacred robe,
strength
light
power!

Alphabelt Majuscules by Jeanne
Today is April Fools’ Day, a day of hoaxes and practical jokes the world over.
In the April issue of Sports Illustrated in 1985, George Plimpton reported that the New York Mets had recruited a phenomenal young pitcher who had learned his craft in a Tibetan monastery. The pitcher’s name was Sidd Finch, and he could throw a 168-mile-per-hour fastball. Plimpton buried a clue in the article’s subtitle: “He’s a pitcher, part yogi and part recluse. Impressively liberated from our opulent life-style, Sidd’s deciding about yoga — and his future in baseball.” The first letter of each word spelled out “Happy April Fools’ Day — ah fib.”
(It is “a fib” a lie-a falsehood- a trick-a misdirection- a hoax, a fool’s fact-
a fast-ball)
