If you blog…
If you blog, and no one comments, have you really blogged?Comments:
See, I have the luxury of commenting to you in person. Except when you aren’t able to show up that is.
Anxiously awaiting opportunity to discuss previous post with you.
Bishop
I sometimes feel that I haven’t when no one comments. :- But oh well.

Do not go gently… I don’t understand… A comment on becoming Orthodox
Dylan Thomas October 27, 1914 ~ November 9, 1953 Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night Do not go gently into that good night. Old age should burn and rage at the close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Comments:
David,
In light of our recent discussions regarding sin, death, and the devil, I think your post has even more depth than you may have intended, or, maybe you did?.
“Sin, death, and the devil are our enemies.” It’s the death part that the great bard was urging us to fight. Yet, you have never really been afraid of death (except maybe mine), so although you don’t run to greet death with a kiss every morning, it’s the same as your natural progression into the Big O. The inevitable is coming, and we won’t be too surprised when it arrives.
Wow. You really are a deep, deep man.
Who is brad waybee???? Not a very nice person, it does not seem like.
Funny thing, to find that poem on your blog. I was just thinking aobut it today...the poem, that is.
Dana,
Thanks…
Alana…
Dunno… his comments are gone. Rudeness not tolerated.

the poem by dylan thomas is not about orthodoxy, or even religion in general, although there may be some religious allusion contained in it. it is a poem about people resisting death because they have not made a lasting mark on the world…
I just discovered…
I just discovered a <a href="http://morningcoffee.blogspot.com/">friends web log... </a>You go girl! And to that person, I must ask a question - as she has the experience, training etc. to be able to answer it at least as much as anyone else I know, perhaps more so. A new mother produces milk to feed her child. Somewhere in the process the milk is part of "Mom", at some point the milk is this "other than Mom or Baby", and then at a different point the mile is part of "Baby." When does it cease to be "Mom", "other", and "Baby"?Comments:

Mr. J. R. (Johnny) Cash is dead…
/me salutes the great baritone If I could sing, I would want to sing like him. /me misses his presence on earth, but looks forward to the great chorus in heaven with all the angels in white, all the saints in white, except for one. I pray that God will allow him to continue to wear black in His Holy choir. Good bye to a legend. Good bye <a href="http://www.johnnycash.com">Mr. Johnny Cash</a>.Comments:
