Unknowingly walked in on Eucharistic adoration. Not exactly my thing but it's nice and quiet in the heart of the city. I guess I'll read the Psalms (AND put down my phone!)

Haikuing the Song of Songs 2:1-3 (read it!)
A double haiku inspired by the late Tom Howard.

Your beloved's a
mass of tissue, glands, fluids -
yet bears God's Image.

Love's vocab prefers
"rose", "lily", and "apple tree"
to clinical terms.

Do I ever feel this. I learned to write in English as a young adult. I have always used the Oxford comma and the em dash (although I had no idea it was called an em dash until recently). Now I feel self-conscious about both. 😒

A Tanka on Lammas Day - 1 August

Happy Lammas Day!
Not Peruvian ungulates;
first Summer harvest.
Thank God for corn-on-the-cob,
watermelon, wheat for bread.

Trying to be more realistic with my summer reading list this year. We'll see.

It's a betrayal of the Lord. We have so much better than donkeys and elephants!
