It Takes A Sailor's Faith
The Bible is full of miraculous events that take faith to understand
them as truth. Although many stories included in the New Testament are
Parables told by Jesus, the Old Testament is considered not to hold
these stories. The controversial events in the Old Testament are
believed truth of the ancient separation from God and justice as system
of “an eye for an eye”. However, the story of Jonah has been contested
as anything but factual history. It would seem the other
atrocious acts of murder and sex are more believable than remaining in
the belly of a whale for three days. The story of Jonah could
be a historical allegory including factual events in a narration while
using descriptive words that relate to other events as well.

We Are All Knit Together
Walking home from work is usually a peaceful time for my body to prepare
for an early morning nap. The streets are still and empty, except for
some runners feet tapping the pavement or birds chirping on evergreen
branches. The sunrise lifts my drowsy spirit for a more brisk walk in
the cold, crisp air. However, this morning shocked me with numerous
jolts of awareness.
Read the rest on my new blog focused on transcending into the new, while this one will remain for reflecting on the past. Of course the two will intertwine often.

Drag out the Night
neon glow settles
upon stagnant bodies in motion
glazed eyes attempt to connect
with possible fantasies
that could be lived out
one night in paradise
15 minutes in the Absolut spotligh
with a less potent outcome
Regrets may ring true
yet for a moment
the bass fills your soul
the gin fuels your blood
lights sparkle to another tune
while all the queens fulfill their roles
upon stagnant bodies in motion
glazed eyes attempt to connect
with possible fantasies
that could be lived out
one night in paradise
15 minutes in the Absolut spotligh
with a less potent outcome
Regrets may ring true
yet for a moment
the bass fills your soul
the gin fuels your blood
lights sparkle to another tune
while all the queens fulfill their roles
