“You can’t cherry-pick the worst aspects of a religion and then hold every member of that religion solely responsible for it. It’s not even relevant. It’s not like Mitt Romney will pursue policies that are unfair to black people because he’s a Mormon. He’ll do that because he’s a Republican.” - Jon Stewart, on Lawrence O’Donnell vilifying Mitt Romney for his Mormon faith.

Novena

Look at this closely! The President of Argentina received this pic and called it “junk mail” 8 days later he lost his son. A man received this pic & immediately sent out copies. His surprise was winning the lottery. Alberto Martinez received this pic, gave it to his secretary to make copies but they 4got to distribute: She lost her job & he lost his family. THIS PICTURE IS MIRACULOUS & SACRED! U were chosen to receive this Novena! The moment u receive it, say: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. AMEN. This is a Novena from Mother Theresa that started in 1952 & has never been broken! Within 48 hrs, send 20 copies (or as many as u can - God knows if
u dont have 20 people to send it 2…It’s the effort that counts!) 2 family & friends. ?

#Poets corner…Trying Not to Starve!

Windy Wait

 

Cold and wind-swept,

Bleak and desolate, the modern, current, and sprawling building sits.

It sits with a lone vehicle in the turning circle near the mouth of the edifice.

In the nondescript vehicle are two solitary souls.

 

Of these souls, one admires the other does not.

Yet both wait eagerly and satisfyingly fulfilled. 

One gazes at the surroundings,

The other at his happily and gleefully toiling hands.

 

Soon their short but long wait is over,

Soon their different hopes and dreams are realized.

Soon they are made triplets;

Triplets set to journey home.

 

-Kelley Rainer

 

 

 

What to Hear

 

The journey long but not,

Silence made not silent.

Different from what was,

Same purpose to stride, companions for the return.

 

Hearing what is real,

Or hearing what is imagined.

Such decisions of the heart,

These decisions paramount and unimportant.

 

Today is about the return,

About the return and the cargo.

Cargo that doesn’t care about paramount unimportant things.

 

-Kelley Rainer

 

 

 

The Reward 

 

Time of the week to go and spread their peace and havoc.

Time of the week to be what the environment made them.

Time of the week for “Up and to your posts.”

 

Time of their new era to toil not more but less.

Time of this era to see other things,

To note the passing of the old unto a new.

Time of their new era for campaigns abnormal.

Time in this era to rest from labors so well accomplished.

 

-Kelley Rainer

When asked to define themselves in one word, we hear the following:
Ron Paul: “consistent”
Mitt Romney: “resolute”
Newt Gingrich: “cheerful”
Rick Santorum: “courage”
Clearly I have my own interpretation.

Summer’s Winter

From the door, in summer leads to the yard.

From the door, in winter leads to cold.

From the door:  it is difficult to picture the summer yard.

 

The yard in summer teams with life.

The yard in summer, is green with life and beauty

The yard in summer is near paradise!

 

Now it is February.

February is not summer.

Not summer at all…nor close

The yard beyond the door is waiting for summer.

 

—Kelley Rainer

After all This Time

She is the picture of ideal.

Beautiful is an adjective not justice.

Beautiful is the spark caused,

between the corner of her eye an

flowing blonde locks

 

A chance meeting sparks a meeting.

Not formal but no less important than

if it were formal.

Slacks no jackets.

Smiles no frowns.

Heaven with apprehension, 

smiles cause a secession of apprehension.

 

More or less

should be the question.

Less but more is the answer, 

and acceptable.

Silent emotion much as a raging river,

but a peaceful river.

—Kelley Rainer
