"i am a little church"

e.e. cummings

i am a little church(no great cathedral)
far from the splendor and squalor of hurrying cities
-i do not worry if briefer days grow briefest,
i am not sorry when sun and rain make april

my life is the life of the reaper and the sower;
my prayers are prayers of earth's own clumsily striving
(finding and losing and laughing and crying)children
whose any sadness or joy is my grief or my gladness

around me surges a miracle of unceasing
birth and glory and death and resurrection:
over my sleeping self float flaming symbols
of hope,and i wake to a perfect patience of mountains

i am a little church(far from the frantic
world with its rapture and anguish)at peace with nature
-i do not worry if longer nights grow longest;
i am not sorry when silence becomes singing

winter by spring,i lift my diminutive spire to
merciful Him Whose only now is forever:
standing erect in the deathless truth of His presence
(welcoming humbly His light and proudly His darkness)

blue like jazz

"I think Christian spirituality is like jazz music. The first generation out of slavery invented jazz music. It is a music birthed out of freedom. And that is the closest thing i know to christian spirituality. A music birthed out of freedom." -Don Miller, writer of Blue Like Jazz

thoroughly satisfied

suppose i were brilliant.
suppose my mind's traveller
went cascading through fountains
and mountains of mysteries
only to find questions dressed as answers
and i was thoroughly satisfied.

suppose i dreamt small and lived big
and ate mistakes like breakfast food.
suppose i wasn't afraid of anything
and invented incredible wilds
as though i were five and had nothing to lose.

suppose the world wasn't mine
for the changing but was mine
for the taking for dancing
with abnormal habits in tangent with abnormal lifestyle and
my impatient body was still.
and i was thoroughly satisfied.

revisit evolution, is it?
no it u love.
back wards in time. time warp.
time thwarped by creative memory.
imagination, making up for lost photos
when in doubt, visit the newspapers- reporters never lie
ing on your carpet, paralyzed by your past remembered
untruths made truth come undone
roots sprout under the house foundation cracks.
no i tad nuof.
nuances like genetics. dna crawls under the
fingernails of a generational pattern.
evolution of a tendency press rewind and suddenly
michael jackson is doing the moon walk in reverse
and buzz aldwin walked on the noom in 9,691.
nothing makes sense.
this is why we are progressive beings.
progressive until our modern jets crash into gods great buildings
and our frequent flyers are opting for their banana seated beach cruiser instead.
where is the line-
the step back. back step evolution evaluation
consult the maker for model number
easy to follow downloadable instruction manual
no it u love.
evolution naught. fret your identity. time wasted.
