Killer Cancer
i don’t want to be killed by cancer … Why would I choose this? … Cancer kills you with suffering … Cancer kills you with awareness that you are deteriorating … My God, just in the last day my fingers can’t always find the right keys on the computer keyboard … Cancer is giving me no choice in dying now, if that is what it is doing to me?

Poem – Everyday
Everyday on the path I stay
Everyday in every way
If I stray and I do
I must return to myself
I do God’s will when …
I focus on the true value of the moment
I do my will when I am confused
Everyday in every way
I choose the path
Laid out for me
If it means dying
Then I am dying
If it means living
I always choose living
Every day in every way
I choose living over dying
I am not dying my living
I may be living my dying
Dying is more painful than living
Most painful is not living my living
Pain …

Psalm 152 – Death-Rebirth
For every season there is a choice.
A time to die and a time to live,
A time for decrease and a time for increase.
For every beginning there is an ending,
A time for regression and a time for growth,
A time for saying goodbye and a time for greeting.
For anything new the old must go,
A grave must be dug and new seed planted,
A sacrifice made as well as fulfillment created.
The days of our years are numbered by eternity.
What was will never again be.
The songs that have been sung are only …

Dream Of Detailed Things
I was making a fire rope, a rope made of inflammable things which I lit for some purpose that lacked meaning it seemed to me. My thinking was like a boy who is learning how to do things, whether these things are significant to adult life or not.
I also set fire to a piece of a railing on the stairs of this resort house for no purpose but to scrape it clean and put a new piece of wood on it and paint it the same color …

Kyrie Eleison
Have mercy on us
For we have all sinned
And cannot be redeemed
Without your help

Kyrie Eleison
Help us Oh Greater One
Help us for we cannot Do it alone

Kyrie Eleison
Help us to love our enemies
Help us to accept crucifixion
Help us to give up exploitation

Hands
(for Stefania, December 16, 2008)
-Strephon
A weapon in a soldier’s hands means war
A baby in a mother’s hands means love
Your hand in my hand means opening
My hand in your hand means commitment
