The man who has no enemies
has no character.

             - William O'Malley, S.J.
         (who I used to read in America
                            magazine)

Aurelio on Franklin Street
Lord of the Rings liminality

George Will in the Washington Post
Obsessed with poor criminality

George Will is a racist
And he doesn't believe in God

I'm becoming an outer spacist
And my momma called me Todd

At times I'm close to naive
Because I believe in trust

But if I see you hurt others
Then fight with me you must

I've struggled at times with fear
I've struggled at times with lust

But when I walk in the woods alone
The winds begin to gust

                    For all of us.

Basketball again tonight
After the pouring rain

Solo walk home alone
No bus, no car, no train

Thundercrack in the afternoon
Power in my ear

But now quietly before I reach the church
One dear deer

In this world, we cannot always do great things.  But we can always do little things. With Great Love!

                        -  St. Teresa of Calcutta

loveliest of trees the cherry now
pink blossoms, white blossoms new allow
      south riding wai Thai bow

A difficult early life: hard
Her tulips in the front yard
               Catteleya.
