Sitaram Corresponding with my friend Coast a.k.a. Michael regarding Cervantes' Don Quixote. And a warm hello to Hanuman, Rich, and Cheryl Lynn! Posted 13 hours ago view more
Hey Sitaram, this afternoon I went to my first (of my own accord) Roman Catholic service. I have been to a Roman Catholic service once during a visit with my grandparents on my dad's side twelve years ago. As soon as I walked through the doors into the chapel I felt a powerful metaphysical force. The last time I had felt a spiritual contact like that was two hours into a Pentacostal revival service nine years ago. I still do my repenting and communion on Sundays at my Anglican Church. I very much enjoyed listening to the Roman Catholic sermon. Some of the New Testament verses were worded a little different from some verses in the Protestant Bible. It was very interesting. I really enjoyed singing the Roman Catholic worship hymns.
Or I shall live your epitaph to make, Or you survive when I in earth am rotten; From hence your memory death cannot take, Although in me each part will be forgotten. Your name from hence immortal life shall have, Though I, once gone, to all the world must die: The earth can yield me but a common grave, When you entombed in men's eyes shall lie. Your monument shall be my gentle verse, Which eyes not yet created shall o'er-read, And tongues to be your being shall rehearse When all the breathers of this world are dead; You still shall live--such virtue hath my pen-- Where breath most breathes, even in the mouths of men.
Hey Sitaram, just a few minutes ago I just realized at what technical point a Christian becomes a Christian. It is when they come to the cognitive dissonance point. Not when they say the magic words point. The magic words point is just a natural reaction to many Protestants. Many Protestants don't see it as "just" but as an Anglican I do.
Your blog on Homer is deeply thought out and very interesting to know.Thank you for sharing. I wish you could share more about greek mythology, through your words, I understand best. Lots of love to you whose words I miss these days owing to my commitments and your silence.
Poetstock 2009!
Never before has this been done, and hopefully it will be successfully repeated after this all over the world, again and again….
Our aim is to bring together poets from all over, who produce all
genres of poetry for a night of mingling, poetry, shameless self
promotion…. Each poet will have the poetry to read their work on
stage, sell their work to those who would like to buy, and mingle with
the best poets of our generation.
It will be held on Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 9 PM at STUDIO PARK; 1519 Carroll Dr
Atlanta, GA 30318-3605
And the owner of STUDIO PARK in Atlanta has been gracious enough to open his doors to us without charging us ANYTHING!!!

****ALL are welcome! Whether you are a poet, or love poetry, we hope
you will all come, tell your friends about it, and your friends’
friends-blog it, bulletin it, email it, scream about it from the
rooftops~Whatever it takes!!!
Not being able to respond to your blogs is very difficult for me. I was circling and circling through your writing that I have saved. Reading "Spoonfeeding the baby" a dialogue of yours made me laugh within myself like nothing else does, and then I realize that over the years you have become so much a part of me through your words. Half of what I ever say in my lectures at class, is your wit addressing students. I am glad that we know each other and sad that we are not able to communicate. Do you miss chatting with me ? ALL MY LOVE TO YOU.
