Moving A Season

April 17.

Spring

Was called for almost a month ago.

Flowers

And Showers

Are supposed to be our lot now.

But

I Am

In the storehouses of the snow.

This place

Says, “no”

To the new.

Old

Wineskins

Die hard,

Even in the temples which worship new growth.

When

The Mystery gets used to what was

Spring

Cannot find its Space.

But

I Am

Not

Staying in the storehouses of the snow,

Insists

“Wine flow,

In

Daffodils

And lilacs.

Survive.

Crack

Those old

Casks and finally

Burst Forth!”

Share Your World From 4-13-20

Well I am only three days late IN SHARING MY WORLD. This is the challenge where our hostess, Melanie, asks four or five questions. In answering them we, her contributors, share our worlds. Get it?

Here the questions and my answers:

What do you do to get rid of stress? 

I pray a lot. I guess that means I must carry a lot of stress. Oh and I nap. I love naps.

In the past people were buried with the items they would need in the afterlife, what would you want buried with you so you could use it in the afterlife?

I am planning on getting new everything in the afterlife so I won’t be needing the broken stuff I had here.

What’s the opposite of a koala?  (this is strictly for fun.  I know what I came up with as an answer, but it was nonsensical.   Alaok.  See?   It’s okay to pass on this one too if you want)

Let’s see Koala’s look warm and fuzzy so……

Yep that is pretty much opposite a koala

What’s the creepiest tech out there?  (My interpretation of “tech” is app or program.  If you know what “tech” is supposed to mean, hey!  Great!   Educate us. 

This looks really good for the purposes it describes, but the idea that all our currency and economies will be controlled by satellites owned and operated by who? Well that just sounds very weird and super Terminatorish. I am glad they did not call it SkyNet.

GRATITUDE IS AN ATTITUDE

What method are you using to find your smile right now?   Please explain in detail so others might utilize the same ideas.   Some bloggers have shared a daily (weekly sometimes) method that they are using to keep their spirits up right now.   I’d love to hear from anyone who does and is successful at it!    Have a great week and stay safe!

As I said I pray a lot. I am also connecting with a lot of people on line. Finally I have planned myself a fairly rigid schedule of activity: praying, exercising, housework, church work, art and writing….and of course eating.

If that doesn’t work I watch these:
