She listens to all the opinions, there are those on her mind, her attention diverted every time she listens to the news, so she make a song, one day it will be different, so she hums in her kitchen, a live song, and her mind begins to open up, she hears things, almost like feeling alive, what is this, their opinions ignored for such a long time, who is this she asks, then out come the words of peace, as the good books say, that which we strive for, and it went like this...
prays and thinks about it all the time then she sways in the soft eastern breeze Women of the Spirit where do you hide it, she listens to the voices it's the drone that comes from it, that heaving sound that thunders with menace, if I don't get you legally I'll get you with my tanks, hears the voice call from across the fields, another mother cries they ignore her with lies, we'll fix this the only way we can, women of Jerusalem how long can this last,Far away she looks over there asks why can't it be another way
They were all asking, why the patience, this anxiety in so many places, she stops to think about all that pain, she feels it too like labor there comes a time, why the make on perfection she asks, she likes to feel good it's the space the task, inside she had ideas, they never stop to understand, one day when they are old, they'll be talking about their grand children, and where the years go, what was it all about, was to see the power of the beast at work, or was it fear of the gates of heaven whichever is the safer, she makes a wry request, who are we to fear, then the light went on inside her, they space such as this, your a bird that has been released from a cage... so the thoughts went on, and in the space, others voices began to emerge, and then it was calm again, and they all slept with hope rather than regret, amen.
Attention in class, the novice teacher walks in, daunting, what am I to do, just keep them quite, the headmaster says, four or five years old, he tells them stories, there isn't a sound. How they fared, well they were lucky, the school was not over crowded, and the space around it was green, the haven away from the city, Solomon looks back, the value of a good education.
He is outside the game, another sort of apprentice, they are talking their own stuff, he is not an eaves dropper, and there is talk of wars on the TV, another great invasion is being prepared, and the co-operation on both sides, how else do you get a hold on another nations soil. The notion of pricing the recovery before the conflict starts is rather disturbing talk, why not the peace talk that would stop the whole thing, interests, the first world war was a business for many, and how did we hear of Herr Schindler, it was a case of much the same. Solomon wondered if they'd be so brave in the face of divine awareness, not the ritual of faith, but the real thing, intervention from the sky, no grey area when its real, a real choice between heaven on earth or your own version of hell, lets be optomistic, The Holy One is called merciful for the reason mercy is mercy, why argue, just increase your chances of heavenly approval. Wisdom, why would a soul like this be able to think this even, or why would you write it even, or for those with other interests, whether you beleive or not, what does it matter when its real, amen.
The paper talks of the hormonal challenges facing us, how our body chemistry changes. He recalls the warnig long ago, a close one, was getting to that age in life, reminders were given, the crankiness and sudden change in behaviour, but it never happened, we are not the same, a woman with a great intellect suffers the same, she fails to recognise the symptoms, there is a lot of damage done, a little time to reflect, a little truth, do you steam roll until you get what you want, and nearly destroy the lives of those around you, what were your choices, a little time to reflect prehaps, were your emotions working overtime, was it difficult to slow down, perhaps you needed to rest more often, were you afraid of giving others, a competitive edge, was that the world you lived on, how success in some places of work, are tainted by cheats and those who use any advantage to get ahead, amen.
He is wise in ways, but is older, has been taking too on, tries to stay younger, its the age thing, the great lesson in Mother Nature, we age in different ways, why fall back on the fear who can create, when the good thing to do, would be to encourage the next generation, with the wisdom you showed, who wants to be reminded of, well, if only he hadn't gone so far, what would have been the outcome, its okay if your going for unreachable peaks, the challenge is usually a singular one, and family is often set to the side, who has the choices like that you ask.
The new strenght is in the emotions, are you a people person, can you get along well with those around you, do you need to be the boss to be respected, what is the matter, too much pride, custer chases the indian scouts over the ridge, sought the glory, it all ends in tears, a little more balance, or more honesty when making agreements, its the same as prayers, how honest were you when you made the prayer, what did you do afterwards, Jesus tells the parable of those he healed, in particulr the men with the dreaded skin disease, and the One who came back and said thanks. The old testament is full of such stories, and the reasons for it, when we discount the God factor, what are we doing, particularly when future generations depend upon your today, what legacy will you take to the holy gates, no advisors will be able to advise you, and then you hear of Lazarus and Abraham, they enjoy the cool water, they are having a great time among the prophets, while the ones who had it all, are cursing themsevles, for ignoring the eternalk God, their wish, will you remind those we hold dear, in case they make the same mistakes, amen.
Solomom wondered what Father Nivard would make of his petitions, ignoring the interference he encountered, there are disturbers everywhere, including yourself, he thinks of the Old Monk too, the words were a balm to his ears, and the little pal, and the light, what power is this he thought, looking up, he knew clearly, thinking of future generations, amen.
As for old Barney the Cat, or was it smudge the rabbit that got him, amen.
Across the world, the great teachers of the word, many of t
The holy prophets remind us, that God Most High comes to the rescue of his people. You might get a caution or put on the waiting list, but with time and practice, you win back Godly approval. Daniel in the lions den, the other stories, the double meaning the paranoid put on things, their delusion, God doe not exist, what a surprise awaits them. The holy books are there to remind us, don't give up on your faith, and the vineyard story tells us, that the gentile is made worthy too, while some who deem themselves worthy, have a lot of catching up to do. So don't despair, if others try to sell you their fears, no matter what. Yes, we are taught lessons, and we are told parables, to help us understand the heavenly ways, it's all there.
