If God so loved
the world that he gave his son,
what became of his daughter?
~
A better question
might be, can we all, sons and
daughters, live God’s love on earth?
Mondo
All That Remains
If you could unwrap
only one gift for the whole
world, what would it be?
~
My gift for the world
must remain encased, always,
safe inside Pandora’s Jar!

Christmas Tidings
In this festive time,
What message would you send to
Those few souls who find no joy?
~
The message brought to
us on that first Christmas Day
was love unconditional.
Share this:
Gatherings
What’s with all these twelves –
days of Christmas, number of
apostles, months in a year?
~
Busy taking steps!
But twelve is significant
Here too, I gather.

More Than Meets The Eye?
Would Rudolph enjoy
their green-eyed jealousy
if his belly weren’t yellow?
~
Hmm – red, yellow, green –
stop, go, and in between – some
subliminal message here?
Share this:
Phymatous Rosacea
If you were going
to make a guess what made
Rudolph’s nose glow red?
~
Rudolph, like Hogarth,
the therapist in me says,
likely loved “Christmas Cheer”!

In The Red
Does the bright red suit
symbolize seasonal joy,
or do the clothes make the man
~
A larger question
might be what manner of man
would pick clothes like those.

To The Nines
Why was ma in her
kerchief and pa in his cap
in the middle of the night?
~
Surely you recall
what it’s like to be dressed
up but have no place to go?
Share this:
Silent Revels
Can seeking silence
yield a more stunning chorus
than reveling in music?
~
Contemplatives say
in seeking silence we may
find a music more sublime.

A Ho-Ho-Ho Lot More
All those years ago
when you listened for Santa’s
sleigh, what did you hear?
~
Myths and legends claim
there should be bells and hoof beats
but I heard Julie Andrews!
Share this:
Willingness
What compulsion drives
us to act against our will?
Altruism? Karmic Debt?
~
Sometimes we draw strength
from a mysterious source
and set our will aside.
Share this:
Hmm…
What expectation
seems best for, thinks this wise fool,
ulcers and flagellation!
~
So we’re skipping all
questions now and going straight
to declarations?
Share this:
Nobody Expects the…
What can we expect
from the unexpected and
how do we prepare?
~
Prepare for the worst!
Maybe the unexpected
will be a pleasant surprise!

What’s Great
AND ANYWAY, what
is so great about wisdom?
It keeps no demons at bay.
~
Demons come and they
go and those on wisdom’s seat
simply watch the show.
Share this:
Sophistry or Solipsism
What do children and
fools have to offer that wise
men struggle to grasp?
~
Being a child
And a foolish man some call
Wise, I have no quick reply.

Banking the Embers
With no fire in
my belly and no wood to
be found, what then, Friend?
~
When all passions fade,
Logs consumed, all that remains
Is Universal heat death.

Where Truth Lies
For the small minded,
is their terror justified,
since truth is so relative?
~
Perfect love, they say,
can cast out fear when minds
are small, truth unclear.

ConGenital Swiss Army Knife?
Fifty years ago
today, my son, we welcomed
you to this world. How’s it been?
~
Great! Except for your
faith that I was born with some
“magic tool” for any job!
Share this:
Anosognosia much?
I thought I’d pass this
question on: “What happens to
the hole when the cheese is gone.?”
~
Oh for pity’s sake!
I think you’re just longing to
watch me regurgitate!
