How long have you been waiting
for me to arrive?"
"For you? My entire life."
She sat down in charmed silence.

It’s family first,
and family forever.
Never interfere.

Wednesday February 03, 2021
This ringing echo
is the sound of God's kindness
heard half way around
the world within this one, brief,
and shining instance of love.

ridiculous," so says dear
His only amatory?

bears witness to his own birth,
and to his once stoned
life outside of the Trappist
trappings of Abraham's sons.

suddenly revolves in his
orbit once again.

An old love story:
a good man lays down his life
for his only friend.

Love's a stylish verb:
as iron sharpens iron,
so one friend sharpens
another as the other
responds in fitted fashion.

Unless he's given
a noble woman just like
Adam before him,
he shall continue to be
alone (but never lonely).

Even though she is
beautiful as a woman
could ever be, still ...
they will never see into
the "great and darksome horror."

impacts some more than others.
Not everyone is
made for prolonged periods
of love in the great indoors.

Heed the patriarch:
“Abram fell flat on his face.”
Love his devotion:
he was ninety nine years old
when he encountered I AM.

‘Love’ is another
word for paying attention.
Less than obvious
details become amore
if you stop, look, and listen.
Sunday February 14, 2021

with the eyes, but with the mind.
This is why Warhol
said that when we fall in love,
both our eyes should remain shut.
Monday February 15, 2021
It ended, and his
half life of absolution
is all that remains.
The surest thing is that the
surest things will always change.

Monastic fingers
one by one touch the surface
of holy water.
They touch it when they enter,
and they touch it when they leave.

for the hermit ROsaRY
to finally arrive.
The Trappist one he once used
kept the heresy alive.
Thursday February 18, 2021
The necessary
thing won’t be taken from him.
All he needs to do
is choose the very best part.
The rest takes care of itself.
Friday February 19, 2021
"Get out of God's way"
he sighed as he tried to fall
asleep to forget.
To get inside of God's will
is still the only way out.

and everyone else behind
as she moves down south
to escape from the madness
of this massive psychosis.

His plan to live in
la villa strangiato
again has begun.
He will be cleaner, preener,
and definitely leaner.

at the appropriate time.
That’s not saying much,
since punctuality is
only a prerequisite.

is the result of failing
to do the dirty
(yet necessary) work of
a relational butcher.

It is becoming
less and less hospitable
outside of his cell.
It is much better to be
conspicuously absent.
Saturday February 27, 2021
It is on its way!
Better to be back to the
Black is the new Black
modus operandi sigh.
It helps to write a letter.

He had to curb his
empty enthusiasm
about the future.
Sometimes the ideal becomes
the enemy of the real.
