I told Joy: "I'm not a good story teller. Not that that stops me. But yes, we all have stories. Many of the famous stories are 'anonymous' in that the original storyteller is unknown. It's the embellished story or the one 'collected' (Grimm's) that we remember. Romeo and Juliet may be well-known but it's not exactly original.

Poetry helps me express myself. I'm better at poetry.

“Nobody is waiting for you. And you will never be ready.” Very true. I started writing in 1999. By 2005 I was ready. Now I'm just past my expiration date."

Prayer for America

O Thou kind Lord! This gathering is turning to Thee. These hearts are radiant with Thy love. These minds and spirits are exhilarated by the message of Thy glad-tidings. O God! Let this American democracy become glorious in spiritual degrees even as it has aspired to material degrees, and render this just government victorious. Confirm this revered nation to upraise the standard of the oneness of humanity, to promulgate the Most Great Peace, to become thereby most glorious and praiseworthy among all the nations of the world. O God! This American nation is worthy of Thy favors and is deserving of Thy mercy. Make it precious and near to Thee through Thy bounty and bestowal.

81 degrees at 4 pm. Warmest day since September 12th. 82 is the record.

We did match it if we didn't break it. One day won't hurt us. We might get sprinkles.

Yay! New record high! 83 degrees at 5:48.

It may not get above 55 damp degrees tomorrow. Now 77 at 8:08 as the day slowly fades.
