Looking for peace In a world that won’t be still I turn to God And wait for answers the lily of the field allows worry to float away blown by the wind beyond sight and thought Lord, I am not a lily And I am afraid Don’t let me fall
Great Youtube channels
I thought I’d talk about some Youtube channels I think are rather good. In keeping with my site’s theme, they’re a bit of a mixed bunch, so I hope readers find something of interest in the following. I've added links to the channels and an example of each. They’re not listed in any order of…
Intention and perception
I intended good You saw evil You intended humour I saw hurt I chatter when I’m nervous You call me aggressive I’m hurt by your actions Only joking, you said Where do I stand Up is down and black is white We speak a different language You and I I am tired of…
Review “Breakfast of Champions” by Kurt Vonnegut
“Breakfast of Champions” is overt metafiction and satire, and it may be one of the weirdest examples of Vonnegut’s work. Loosely, the story is about a writer who has been published a lot but who is not well known, and a man who is mentally ill but no one has noticed. They meet, and this…
Hope reborn
