One more example of how the best that we humans have to offer at a given moment is a sad excuse for God's greatness. The big picture should always humble us.

I know a lot of people who would prefer taking the "wretch" from the lyrics. I don't understand it. It is truthful, I think. Perhaps the abolitionist leanings were brewing long before the action happened?<br /><br />Intriguing.

No wonder you are in the mood for "Amazing Grace." Even my Irish Catholic grandmother requested that it be sung at her funeral. <br /><br />Do be careful with the remodeling at 2:30 am. When one is tired, one tends to hit one's thumbs instead of the nails... <br /><br />So glad that Pommes is taking care of the suitcases. And I do hope the Heroine enjoys her visit to Germany. I really liked Germany in the springtime (better than Paris with its buxom q's and cancan lines, although you may not think so...)<br /><br />I look forward to the return of your music.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831169405732892599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812618609344904057.post-56607122413507878102010-03-04T11:46:47.335+08:002010-03-04T11:46:47.335+08:00I learn so much from your posts, and they brim ove...I learn so much from your posts, and they brim over with creativity and brilliance! :)Thomma Lynhttp://www.thommalyngrindstaff.com/storiesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812618609344904057.post-31382090936897545812010-03-04T09:35:19.308+08:002010-03-04T09:35:19.308+08:00Your grace with words leaves me stunned sometimes....Your grace with words leaves me stunned sometimes.Thom Gabrukiewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13286670695334830471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812618609344904057.post-72085013683131179032010-03-04T09:15:48.943+08:002010-03-04T09:15:48.943+08:00Excellent - deep and full of irony.Excellent - deep and full of irony.Stan Skihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963655096635414472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812618609344904057.post-13479372863014994412010-03-04T02:34:16.942+08:002010-03-04T02:34:16.942+08:00Dear Nara,

The Heroine is in Germany this week, Pommes is stalking the suitcases to ensure that I don't leave, and I am doing some renovation work on our new apartment as a client is no more.<br /><br />Tschuess,<br />ChrisSepiru Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600130405222535830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812618609344904057.post-80813759650721582252010-03-04T02:27:55.004+08:002010-03-04T02:27:55.004+08:00Amazing.

Amazingly graceful, although I doubt Newton would have appreciated something as heathen and popish as incense wafting his prayers to heaven (or was he high church?). That one with the opening picture made me think of the movie we were watching last night in our graduate seminar--Lord Jim (based on Conrad's book). In one line, the indeterminate Asian woman is praying with incense to her many idols. Jim says she only has one God, and she responds, "Poor thing. How can one god be enough? There is so much work to do in the world, how can one god get it all done?"<br /><br />I just LOVED your second poem. Very, very good.<br /><br />And the third is brilliant, too. <br /><br />Thanks for all the footnotes and research. You have managed a marvelous tour de force today. <br /><br />I hope you, the Heroine and Pommes are well and thriving. I will be back to sample the music when it is up and running.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831169405732892599noreply@blogger.com
