BUILD INNS IN BETHLEHEM

When Joseph and Mary sought
a room in Bethlehem in which she could
give birth to Jesus, there
was 'no room in the inn'. And
so they gave birth to Jesus
in the sacred stable.

Now it is not that there is
no room in the inn for the pilgrims
to Bethlehem, but no inn at all.

*

Footnote:

May God now materialize a 2 state solution

between Palestine and Israel.

(Ralph Nader on CSpan's program After Words
has publicized the
Presbyterian and Methodist strong stance
in asking for the rights of pilgrims
to Bethlehem having hotels and inns
in which to stay. He asked that evangelicals and the Vatican speak up.)

STABLE OVER STEEPLE

Jesus preferred
stable
to steeple
To the hungry
he gave staples.
He clothed and
housed people.

The animals loved
Him..
they were not coming
to show off their clothes
.. to act as human sheep
following 1 male pastor

ALL POWER HAS BEEN GIVEN TO US

In alignment with
God all power has
been given to each of us.

We can soak up
the swamp water of
unforgiveness ..
God has given
us the wand
of the Cattails

We are all embodiments

of peace

TURN THE OTHER CHEEK?

Ignoring is the best
way to distinguish
undesirable behavior
.. said a vivisector who

inflicted pain on animals

to discover what was apparent

to many.

Jesus has said
to turn the other
cheek

the ocean has for
the most part
obeyed this command

she did rarely when slapped

respond

but a pond does with
a splash respond

SINE NOMINE

Sine nomine
with no signature
does the apple tree
give away all her fruit..
only a unique constellation
of seeds her seal

NOAH'S ARK TWO

His heart
is a Noah's Ark
containing
all beings
its loving
to all others arcs

THEY DIVIDED HER LOTS AMONGST THEM

they divided Joseph's coat amongst the brothers
they divided Jesus' clothes amognst the soldiers
they fought over Bessie's injured body
as they planned to divide the garment of her body

BOAT OF SPIRIT

The woman felt that the male
hierarchy of her church
was an irrelevant boat
which on the sea of Spirit did float

*

MARTHA AND MARY

Said Martha.. who will
eat if no one prepares
food.. as you sit
at His feet

Mary replied..
they will eat..
of joy

THE GOD OF THE MOST REVILED

Jesus loves the rejected.. the 11th hour worker,
the hundredth lamb...the prodigal son.. the man waiting
at the pool of Bethesda... the woman at the well..
the woman being stoned...the blind, the lame..
the leper... the demon possessed.... the condemned thieves
.. those in hell (a temporary hell to which He has keys)

the more afflicted the greater His love

Thank You God for helping all sentient beings with miracles

of healing, supply, protection, joy, knowledge and love of You now.

SAINT NICHOLAS

The sun does not shine on some and not others
Saint Nicholas does not give presents to some children
and not others.
God does not love some and not others
When I remove the blocks to my perception, (such as

a mind addicted to variety) I return the love.

PALMS

The palms of Palm Sunday had become
in four days..
the thorns, the scourges,the nails..

May no sentient trees be harmed

so that their torn off fronds

are distributed on Palm Sunday

When harmed for Him.

FRUIT OF THE VINE

Genesis One Twenty Nine
is God's design
that we eat fruit of the
tree
and the plant and the vine.
