Love's Coming

Love Poems



i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)




i carry your heart with me by

Lyrics

Traditional language

Dear St. Joseph, pure and gentle,

Guardian of the Saviour child,

Treading with the virgin mother,

Egypt's deserts rough and wild.


Chorus:

Hail, St. Joseph, spouse of Mary,

Blessed above all saints on high,

When the death-shades round us gather,

Teach, oh, teach us how to die.


He who rested on thy bosom

Is by countless saints adored;

Prostrate angels in His presence

Sing hosannas to their Lord.

                     Chorus             

Now to thee no gift refusing,

Jesus stoops to hear thy prayer;

Then, dear saint, from thy fair dwelling,

Give to us a father's care.

Chorus

Dear St. Joseph, kind and loving,

Stretch to us a helping hand;

Guide us through life's toils and sorrows

Safely to the distant land.

Chorus

In the strife of life be near us,

And in death, oh, hover nigh,

Let our souls on thy sweet bosom

To their home of gladness fly.

Chorus

Thou hast known a pilgrim's sorrows,

But thy day of toil is o'er;

Help us while we journey onward

Lead us to the peaceful shore.    

Chorus

Hail St. Joseph, just and holy,

Loving children breathe thy name;

Here below, through toil and danger,

Love and care from thee we claim.

Chorus

Modern English

Dear St. Joseph, pure and gentle,

Guardian of the Saviour child,

Treading with the virgin mother,

Egypt's deserts, rough and wild.


Chorus:

Hail, St. Joseph, spouse of Mary,

Blessed above all saints on high,

When the death-shades round us gather,

Teach, oh, teach us how to die.


He who rested on your bosom

Is by countless saints adored;

Prostrate angels in His presence

Sing hosannas to their Lord.


Now to you no gift refusing,

Jesus stoops to hear your prayer;

Then, dear saint, from your fair dwelling,

Give to us a father's care.


Dear St. Joseph, kind and loving,

Stretch to us a helping hand;

Guide us through life's toils and sorrows


Safely to the distant land.



In the strife of life be near us,

And in death, oh, hover nigh,

Let our souls on your sweet bosom

To their home of gladness fly.


You have known a pilgrim's sorrows,

But your day of toil is o'er;

Help us while we journey onward

Lead us to the peaceful shore.


Hail St. Joseph, just and holy,

Loving children breathe your name;

Here below, through toil and danger,

Love and care from you we claim.

As Plato sometimes speaks of the divine love, it arises not out of indigency, as created love does, but out of fullness and redundancy.
JOHN SMITH THE PLATONIST
In India, where families often make severe sacrifices to send a son or daughter to college, everyone is patient with a student who is out of cash. If you are waiting in line for tickets with two or three friends, for example, and your turn comes at the box-office window, everyone understands if you suddenly discover that your shoelace has come loose. You bend down to tie it, giving your friends a chance to buy your ticket, and everybody knows there is no question of generosity or stinginess; you simply do not have the capacity to pay.
Similarly, when someone suddenly gets angry, you can think to yourself, “Well, his shoelace has just come untied.” He has just run out of inner resources. Whatever he was doing before, he has to bend down and look at his feet; he hasn’t got attention to give to anything else. To grow rich in love – to make yourself into a real tycoon of tenderness – have patience with others.  from the sla listserve

Trump? Straight Outta Compton


Everybody wanna be bad.



About twenty or thirty years ago
(20-30?! ?shut up!), the youts decided that gangsta and jersey and vulgar and fear and violence and pride and BADASS was a nice, feel-good, top-o-the-foodchain kinda thang.
According to sociologist Jackson Katz, young black males
sampled attitude and behavior from east coast organized crime stereotypes,
 young white males borrowed from young black males,
young women played along in order to be cool.




And while there have been thousands of books written about police brutality, black on black crime, poverty and disenfranchisement, self-determination, affirmative action, the way of nonviolence, hate and love...
the kids continue to follow the lead of the [vapid,  filthy   corrupt greedy manipulative, ultra violent] media, embracing much that is in-your-face, lewd, nasty, proud, badass.
In fact,
 media that are NOT depraved and revolting are impugned as weak, puritan, and hopelessly old fashioned....
and transcend all 
such attempts to categorize...)


OK back to Compton...

Those connected with the aging NWA, no doubt at least partially prompted by current affairs, have released a biopic recounting some of the issues around the badass scene that came outta a very dangerous place to live out on the west coast.



The movie has opened to generally positive reviews. It was full of humor, and the poignancy and politics and music notwithstanding, there was more laughter than any resentful anger at the showing i attended; (i cannot understand the need for increased police presence at theatres after the show, as some newspapers reported)...
The attitude represented in the flick has over time, to a certain depth, gone mainstream.


It struck me after the movie, that Donald Trump has captured and displayed the attitude of many who are tied into talkin' strong, being bad, taking no prisoners, and calling fools, fools. There are certainly enough people in the 12 to 65 year-old range to give him the leads reported in all the polls.





Insofar as Republicans go, those voters have been tricked, lied to, shanghaied and bamboozled election after election.
No matter what they vote their people in to do, when the politicians get to the Big Party they are shorn of their locks, they lose all courage, and they lick the Delilah boots that they are shown.


On the Democrat side, the party line has become indistinguishable from flat out socialism with some communistic toppings. Fine if it's what you want; for many democrats it is NOT their father's party and
 they are remembering all the things in the 60's and 70's that were very important to them being kicked to the curb and treated like garbage....(free speech, anyone)?


The elite in Washington, democrats and republicans, no longer care about what the population thinks; they no longer answer to the people. If they toe the correct line and lick the correct boots they are protected by the media, no matter how hypocritically they act or how hard they betray their constituents. If they do not bow, kiss and vote correctly, they are marginalized into nonexistence or destroyed.

Enter
Donald
Trump.

To the kids, he straight outta compton....





Hoes, bitches, money, power, winners, losers, the GAME....







George Will, in his column, Trump is a Counterfeit Republican, states
that
"...Because the actual Donald Trump is wealthy, he can turn himself into an unprecedentedly and incorrigibly vulgar presidential candidate. It is his right to use his riches as he pleases. His squalid performance and its coarsening of civic life are costs of freedom that an open society must be prepared to pay...."

Prepared to pay?!

we are reaping what has been sown.
