Quote Vadis - You say you love...
In case you are not following Quote Vadis - you might would like to.
Belowᔥ is a poem that just shook my core a few weeks ago and I wanted to post it here.
“You say that you love rain,
but you open your umbrella when it rains…
You say that you love the sun,
but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines…
You say that you love the wind,
But you close your windows when wind blows…
This is why I am afraid;
You say that you love me too…”

Flights - by Judy Brown August 23, 2010
Rev. Nancy Allen came across this poem and I loved it. Thought I would share it with the interwebs.
Flights
Yesterday,
An easy flight
For me. Not so
For him.
He was an hour
Late because a
Jar of caramel sauce
inside a suitcase, broke,
And ran out, down
The outside
Of the plane.
They didn't know
What the suspicious
Liquid was.
Was it mechanical?
A terrorist plot?
As it turned out
They should have
Called for ice cream,
Not mechanics
And the bomb squad.
So hard to know
What we are seeing,
Sometimes. Especially
When we're scared.

In the Untied States everyone everyday is...
A hypocrite.
A liberal.
A conservative.
A moderate.
Sinful.
Sinless.
Wrong.
Right.
Individualist.
Pluralistic.
Accepting.
Forgiving.
Close minded.
Arrogant.
A doormat.
Frustrated.
A capitalist.
A Socialists.
Politically correct.
Crass.
Rich.
Poor.
A saint.
An atheist.
Human.
Divine.
