The Naughty Preposition

by Morris Bishop, published in The New Yorker September 27 1947

I lately lost a preposition;
It hid, I thought, beneath my chair
And angrily I cried, ‘Perdition!
Up from out of in under there.’

Correctness is my vade mecum,
And straggling phrases I abhor,
And yet I wondered, ‘What should he come
Up from out of in under for?’

Passion

They (two of Jesus' disciples) said to each other, ‘Were not our hearts burning within us while he (Jesus) was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?’

- The Book of Luke in the Bible, Chpt. 24

Great Expectations

He (Walt Disney) expected a miracle, and that's what he got.

- Dr. Norman Vincent Peale 

in his book 

You Can If You Think You Can

Dream

Humankind is being led along an evolving course,

through this migration of intelligences,

and though we seem to be sleeping,

there is an inner wakefulness

that directs the dream,

and that will eventually startle us back

to the truth of who we are.

The Whisper in Your Heart

Happy 2013!

We have come
With words yet untold,
And with faces full of mercy for people.
We have sensed the yearning of hearts,
And we have come with tongues that transcend any tongue.

We have come,
Taking the sky above us as our home,
And all people as our family,
And we have adopted colorlessness as our color.
We have taken the seventy two nations as our siblings.

We have come.
Others came and left
They lived, died, and disappeared.
We have been born, never to die,
And we have come, never to leave.

We have come,
In order to pour everywhere like the rain,
To enter every house like the sun,
And to touch our face to people, like the earth.
In short, to love and be loved,
We have come....Rumi♥
