Draw dawn
without flaw
for awe.

The day has its say
from the breaking dawn.
It finds its way 
to the new born fawn

The fragrant flower demurs
surely by the gentle river. The breeze stirs
the leaves in the trees for sight to seize. 
Birds chirp ‘merry weather’ for insects and seeds.

Blossoms bloom for light, warmth and wind. 
The bees buzz fuzzy for their business bin.
The sad flower lets go 
of her smallest petal.

Flutters 
shudder
in the flight from sound
to the ground. 
Sadness sinks from the brash 
crashing flash
in the growth of light in day 
to the dark stash of glad dismay
in the depth of roots
forsooth. 

Ho! Ho! 
Honey Ho.

The bees know how to sow
the sweetness of labor stowed
and owned as known.

Sweet daughter
by the altered altars 
that nature offers
you know you oughta
dance like the otter
plays in water.

Dance daughter
for your offers
from alien paupers
without flying saucers.
.
You will be loved
because you are a loving dove.

The story for glory
grows glory for the story
with the warning that violence
is not the catalyst for change or silence.
Cruelty creates atavism for pain 
and disdain.

We have been brought out of the house of misery.
We have been delivered from the bitterness of injury.

Love is the votive motive
for motoring in a better locomotive. 

L’amour is the automotive lotus.
Society needs signs.
Individuality seeks wisdom for mind.

The cross celebrates crucifixion
as the cement for the conviction
that pain is the friction
that precedes the reconciliation
of conflict in resurrection.

Faith looks past the impossible
to possibility. 
The promise of the promisable
is seen and believed with civility
for fertility with maturity. 

Creativity in the present 
presence presses forward with intent
into the future until it has passed
into the past as it has been cast 
for reverie 
or review 
by memory
as true.

Love is true.
Love is you.

Reason and beauty close the day.
Another day is on the way.


19 Cœli enarrant

1 The heavens declare the glory of God, *
and the firmament shows his handiwork.
2 One day tells its tale to another, *
and one night imparts knowledge to another.
3 Although they have no words or language, *
and their voices are not heard,
4 Their sound has gone out into all lands, *
and their message to the ends of the world.
5 In the deep has he set a pavilion for the sun; *
it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber;
it rejoices like a champion to run its course.
6 It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavens
and runs about to the end of it again; *
nothing is hidden from its burning heat.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect
and revives the soul; *
the testimony of the Lord is sure
and gives wisdom to the innocent.
8 The statutes of the Lord are just
and rejoice the heart; *
the commandment of the Lord is clear
and gives light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean
and endures for ever; *
the judgments of the Lord are true
and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
more than much fine gold, *
sweeter far than honey,
than honey in the comb.
11 By them also is your servant enlightened, *
and in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can tell how often he offends? *
cleanse me from my secret faults.
13 Above all, keep your servant from presumptuous sins;
let them not get dominion over me; *
then shall I be whole and sound,
and innocent of a great offense.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, *
O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.


Ex. 20:2
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery

1 Cor. 1:22
Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom, 23but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling-block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles

Mercury, Venus

http://earthsky.org/?p=274164
"Can you see all five bright planets at the same time in March 2018, as we did in early 2016? No. But, especially if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, March 2018 is a great month for catching all five bright planets either after sunset, or before dawn.

"What’s fun this month is that the inferior planets – Mercury and Venus, which orbit inside Earth’s orbit around the sun – are located in one part of the sky, the western sky after sunset. Meanwhile, the superior planets – Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, which orbit outside Earth’s orbit around the sun – are best viewed after midnight, or in the predawn hours."

Light of my life,
why have you left my sight?

Why have you forsaken me?
Darkness has overtaken the seen.

You are so far from my cry,
I don't know where things lie.

The words of my distress
seek your soft caress.

I cry for you in the daytime
when you desire to reveal the sublime.

When I seek you in the night as well,
outlines are the most the story tells.

You made design for existence.
You are enthroned on praise for subsistence.

Our ancestors put their trust in you.
You delivered them for our being too.

They cried and you delivered.
Their trust was not cast into the river.

I am a worm. I am no man.
I have been scorned by the land.

Those who saw me laughed with scorn.
They curled their lips as to blow a horn.

They said "So much for faith. It was such a waste.
Let your trust be put to shame."

I had been taken from the womb.
My mother's milk, I did consume.

I was entrusted to you since the time of birth.
You have been my faith since I first walked on earth.

Stay with me now. Trouble is near.
There are none to help preserve what's dear.

Young bulls have encircled me.
They were so strong, they hurdled trees.

They opened wide their jaws to roar.
Saliva drooled as they groaned some more.

The fertile land had made them strong.
They feigned a charge after they pawed it long.

My bones are out of joint.
Their science moves slowly from point to point.

My heart melts like wax within my breast.
I am poured out like water to test the crest.

My tongue is like a potsherd in dry dirt
My mouth is parched. It's so dehydrated it hurts. 

You have laid me in the dust of the grave.
I appeal to you for the trust of the brave.

Men and dogs surround the bulls at bay. 
I fall to my knees. The circle portrays the day.

I can count my bones.
I pray the pain atones.

My hands and feet are pierced.
The lines in this play were not rehearsed.

My garments are divided among them.
They play tug of war. They destroy the hem.

Lots are cast for what is left.
Gambling is used to dispel the theft.

Light of life, do not stray from me.
Your are my strength. You help me to see.

Save me from the blade that cuts.
Save me from the the bullet of a gun.
Give me the strength to fight or run.

Save me from wild teeth that tear.
Be it bull or dog, lion or bear. 
Your salvation I will declare.
I will raise my praise from the winding stair.

Joy is praise for life.
Let me live in peace and die free from strife.

Faith was reckoned to me as righteous.
The pious hope for an experience that works like us.

My covenant will be for you.
You will live for the love of truth.

The moon has complete the first quarter since it was new.
It sets at midnight and starts to rise near noon.  

My praise is for joy in the assembly of people.
I will declare that I was delivered from evil.

 I will celebrate life in the presence of the present
with those who assemble for love in essence.

The poor will eat and be satisfied.
The love of joy will be the guide.

Those who share providence 
will share satisfaction as defense. 

Those who seek love 
will see the dove.
“May your heart know peace
and care for others in a way that doesn't cease.”

Gratification will be remembered
past the glow from the burning embers.

Share the joy to the ends of the earth. 
The family of nations will feel the warmth of birth
with gratitude and mirth.

Leadership is the heritage of responsibility.
Responsibility acts with transparency for security
in accord with redemption from liability.

Those who have passed into the past 
celebrate blessings from experience cast
for progress in leadership with joy that lasts.

Our ancestors lived for a hope so vast
that my soul lives for a faith surpassed
that our descendants will live for love unabashed.

Ps.22
22 Deus, Deus meus

1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? *
and are so far from my cry
and from the words of my distress?
2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but you do not answer; *
by night as well, but I find no rest.
3 Yet you are the Holy One, *
enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
4 Our forefathers put their trust in you; *
they trusted, and you delivered them.
5 They cried out to you and were delivered; *
they trusted in you and were not put to shame.
6 But as for me, I am a worm and no man, *
scorned by all and despised by the people.
7 All who see me laugh me to scorn; *
they curl their lips and wag their heads, saying,
8 "He trusted in the Lord; let him deliver him; *
let him rescue him, if he delights in him."
9 Yet you are he who took me out of the womb, *
and kept me safe upon my mother's breast.
10 I have been entrusted to you ever since I was born; *
you were my God when I was still in my
mother's womb.
11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near, *
and there is none to help.
12 Many young bulls encircle me; *
strong bulls of Bashan surround me.
13 They open wide their jaws at me, *
like a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water;
all my bones are out of joint; *
my heart within my breast is melting wax.
15 My mouth is dried out like a pot-sherd;
my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; *
and you have laid me in the dust of the grave.
16 Packs of dogs close me in,
and gangs of evildoers circle around me; *
they pierce my hands and my feet;
I can count all my bones.
17 They stare and gloat over me; *
they divide my garments among them;
they cast lots for my clothing.
18 Be not far away, O Lord; *
you are my strength; hasten to help me.
19 Save me from the sword, *
my life from the power of the dog.
20 Save me from the lion's mouth, *
my wretched body from the horns of wild bulls.
21 I will declare your Name to my brethren; *
in the midst of the congregation I will praise you.
22 Praise the Lord, you that fear him; *
stand in awe of him, O offspring of Israel;
all you of Jacob's line, give glory.
23 For he does not despise nor abhor the poor in their poverty;
neither does he hide his face from them; *
but when they cry to him he hears them.

My praise is of him in the great assembly; *
I will perform my vows in the presence of those who
worship him.

25 The poor shall eat and be satisfied,
and those who seek the Lord shall praise him: *
"May your heart live for ever!"

26 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to
the Lord, *
and all the families of the nations shall bow before him.

27 For kingship belongs to the Lord; *
he rules over the nations.

28 To him alone all who sleep in the earth bow down
in worship; *
all who go down to the dust fall before him.

29 My soul shall live for him;
my descendants shall serve him; *
they shall be known as the Lord's for ever.

30 They shall come and make known to a people yet unborn *
the saving deeds that he has done.

23 Feb. The Moon continues its eternal pilgrimage along the ecliptic. Now at first quarter, it rolls through the stars of the Hyades, the naked-eye star cluster that makes up much of the constellation Taurus. Observers in northeastern North America and much of Europe can see the Moon occult Aldebaran, the brightest star in Taurus.

First Quarter Moon
https://www.space.com/33974-best-night-sky-events.html
First quarter moons rise around noon and set around midnight, so they are visible starting in the afternoon hours. The term quarter moon refers not to its appearance, but the fact that our natural satellite has now completed the first quarter of its orbit around Earth since the last new moon.

Hear this teaching from life.
An open heart reduces stress from strife.

This truth from ancient times will be declared.
Your family and you will be spared with care.

That which has been heard and shown
has been revealed to us as known.

The deeds of power known under heaven
will be recounted to act as leaven.

Generations will know your praise.
Your work is shown with the sun's rays.

Violence was the wilderness of former times.
Civilization must construct for production's rise.

You split the waters to let us pass.
The sea was weaned of water and left with grass.

You led us with a cloud by day.
The fire by night let us find our way.

You split a rock in the rugged terrain.
You gave us drink without the rain.

A stream flowed from out of the cliff.
The river gushed without the fish.

We, the people had said,
"This way is harsh.  We will end up dead.

"Will we be killed by this cure?
We just don't know. We can't be sure."

Hear now, you house of conflict,
"You say my way does most restrict?

"Your way was terribly unfair.
You'd take a life without a care.

"When righteousness had left the pious,
iniquity had found his likeness.

"When inequity defined the lawful
the people were left to fend for awful.

"The righteous were left to stay the course
with diminishing returns to build remorse.

"You were judged, you house of disdain.
You have been turned away from causing pain.

"Repent from your transgression.
Confession destroys the affect of oppression.

"Get a new heart and spirit. 
Turn from iniquity. Don't go near it.

"I find no pleasure in the death of righteousness.
Refuse cruelty. Let conscience guide your light to bliss."

Let the people say,
"I lift my soul to you, Y-hw-h.

"Let me avoid humiliation.
Let me make the situation 
the path to salvation
not my condemnation.

"Do not let my enemy
triumph over me.

"I put my trust in you.
You will guide me in what to say or do."

Let none who seek your face be ashamed.
Let the treacherous be trained to refrain from causing pain.

Show me your ways.
Lead me with strength through the length of days.

Lead me in your truth.
Teach me how to calm and sooth.

You are the author of my salvation.
I trust that you will help me build my station.

Remember not the sins of my youth.
Keep me from the serpent's tooth.

A bow has been set in the clouds.
The covenant has been endowed.

The morning star has returned to night.
Creativity is the crescent moon's delight.

Leadership weighs justice with the scales
of experience to use reason to help benefit prevail.
Being washed from sin is not an ordeal.
It is a trial to help you heal.

The good news is like a friend
that shares your promise beyond your end.

You are the Lord of life,
the precious Christ.

You teach the humble to do what's right.
The lowly delight in your insight.

Let the same mind be found as with Jesus.
Claiming equality with God was not a reason
for being, believing or promoting treason. 

He emptied himself of the claim to deity
to leave himself with that which was divine about decency.

He humbled himself with human likeness
that human kind may shine with divine brightness.


25 Ad te, Domine, levavi

1 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul;
my God, I put my trust in you; *
let me not be humiliated,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
2 Let none who look to you be put to shame; *
let the treacherous be disappointed in their schemes.
3 Show me your ways, O Lord, *
and teach me your paths.
4 Lead me in your truth and teach me, *
for you are the God of my salvation;
in you have I trusted all the day long.
5 Remember, O Lord, your compassion and love, *
for they are from everlasting.
6 Remember not the sins of my youth and my transgressions; *
remember me according to your love
and for the sake of your goodness, O Lord.
7 Gracious and upright is the Lord; *
therefore he teaches sinners in his way.
8 He guides the humble in doing right *
and teaches his way to the lowly.
9 All the paths of the Lord are love and faithfulness *
to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
10 For your Name's sake, O Lord, *
forgive my sin, for it is great.
11 Who are they who fear the Lord? *
he will teach them the way that they should choose.
12 They shall dwell in prosperity, *
and their offspring shall inherit the land.
13 The Lord is a friend to those who fear him *
and will show them his covenant.
14 My eyes are ever looking to the Lord, *
for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
15 Turn to me and have pity on me, *
for I am left alone and in misery.
16 The sorrows of my heart have increased; *
bring me out of my troubles.
17 Look upon my adversity and misery *
and forgive me all my sin.
18 Look upon my enemies, for they are many, *
and they bear a violent hatred against me.
19 Protect my life and deliver me; *
let me not be put to shame, for I have trusted in you.
20 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, *
for my hope has been in you.
21 Deliver Israel, O God, *
out of all his troubles.

Gen. 9:13
I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

17 Feb. Venus returns to the evening sky this month! Today, the planet is about three finger widths above the horizon as the Sun sets and it’s joined by a beautiful and slender crescent Moon.
https://www.space.com/33619-visible-planets-guide.html

Venus – This brightest of planets returns to evening visibility after spending most of the past year in the morning sky.  Most of us won't get to glimpse it before late February however, and even then it will be low in bright twilight... Toward the end of the month, Mercury will be pushing up into view below and to the right of Venus.

Jupiter – shines brilliantly in the middle of the constellation Libra, the Scales.

Don't confuse Saturn with either Mars or Antares both nearly 30° to its west (upper right) in the morning twilight.  The reddish star twinkles much more than either planet.

https://www.space.com/33974-best-night-sky-events.html
In the early evening on February 16, the very young crescent moon will sit only 2 degrees to the upper left of Venus. The pair of objects will appear slightly above the western horizon for a short period after sunset.

Make room
for the boom!

Open your mind. Discover design.

The earth has been called
to turn like a ball
to show the sight 
of light
by the axis of rotation
with the gravity of notation
for orbit with flotation 
in space for the evolution of fun
in our revolution around the sun.

The voice of love will not keep silence.
Darkness does not condone violence.

A line is shown at the base of the sky.
Color spreads up as the sign of a sigh.

The corona of brilliance 
is the crown for resilience.

It appears
by turning the sphere.
It rises in sight
to light
the substance of air,
liquid, matter and care
for the sway 
of the way
in the day.

Glory is revealed.
Ugly is healed.
Beauty is sealed
with perfection 
for detection.

Energy burns itself
with the force of the cell.

Each planet is held
by the gravity that compels
the orbit to parallel
the line on a curve 
to the ellipse of circular reserve.

The system of systems
moves away from the point of origin.

Boom!
The sky made room.

The life of light is a raging storm.
Color calls for arrangement as a norm
for that which is held dear
as the atmosphere.

Earth has become the stage
for the next drama of the age.

The atmosphere is set for authority with power.
Courage will come to use reason by the hour.

Beauty will radiate influence with charm.
Subliminal illumination will be continuous without harm.

Goodness is a judgment
that respects limit by the budget
to guide people in action
without creating a new faction.

The design of mind
will find time
for the sublime
in perception 
that avoids deception.

Let the heavens declare delight
in the discovery of cause by insight.

Cause creates change.
Change deigns to reign
within the range
of variation
for mediation
by consultation
for the revelation
of the station
of elation.

The variability of substance
is arranged in matter's abundance
in and outside of us.

The seat of judgment will witness
that liberty within law exists.

Law is not for the destruction of opposition.
It is for the correction of obsession or oppression
by the possession of those who 'exist' for deception.

Those who reject virtue for violence
throw away proportion for the distortion of silence.

They depose fairness for punishment that is cruel
or discard amendment for the sake of severity as the rule
for the gruel of the ghoul.

We are in the company of prophets
who speak about the consequence of profit.

The beasts in the forest
ignore us.

The birds in the trees
sing among the branches or leaves.

The herds on the hills
graze where they will.

All are free to move
to the beat of the groove.

They work for existence
with respect for subsistence.

The design of life
works toward delight
in taking what's right.

The company of prophets is constant.
They dwell in the swell of the economy's content.

Let light shine on the darkness in your heart.
Love is the cause that makes your part start for your art.

Does God eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
Divinity drinks in the sight of life with delight in the goodness it connotes.

The light of life celebrates goodness with joy.
Salvation sings with the clarity of charity's alloy.


50 Deus deorum

1 The Lord, the God of gods, has spoken; *
he has called the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2 Out of Zion, perfect in its beauty, *
God reveals himself in glory.
3 Our God will come and will not keep silence; *
before him there is a consuming flame,
and round about him a raging storm.
4 He calls the heavens and the earth from above *
to witness the judgment of his people.
5 "Gather before me my loyal followers, *
those who have made a covenant with me and sealed it with sacrifice."
6 Let the heavens declare the rightness of his cause; *
for God himself is judge.
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak:
"O Israel, I will bear witness against you; *
for I am God, your God.
8 I do not accuse you because of your sacrifices; *
your offerings are always before me.
9 I will take no bull-calf from your stalls, *
nor he-goats out of your pens;
10 For all the beasts of the forest are mine, *
the herds in their thousands upon the hills.
11 I know every bird in the sky, *
and the creatures of the fields are in my sight.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, *
for the whole world is mine and all that is in it.
13 Do you think I eat the flesh of bulls, *
or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving *
and make good your vows to the Most High.
15 Call upon me in the day of trouble; *
I will deliver you, and you shall honor me."
16 But to the wicked God says: *
"Why do you recite my statutes,
and take my covenant upon your lips;
17 Since you refuse discipline, *
and toss my words behind your back?
18 When you see a thief, you make him your friend, *
and you cast in your lot with adulterers.
19 You have loosed your lips for evil, *
and harnessed your tongue to a lie.
20 You are always speaking evil of your brother *
and slandering your own mother's son.
21 These things you have done, and I kept still, *
and you thought that I am like you."
22 "I have made my accusation; *
I have put my case in order before your eyes.
23 Consider this well, you who forget God, *
lest I rend you and there be none to deliver you.
24 Whoever offers me the sacrifice of thanksgiving honors me; *
but to those who keep in my way will I show the salvation of God."

2 Kings 2:3
The company of prophets* who were in Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, ‘Do you know that today the Lord will take your master away from you?’ And he said, ‘Yes, I know; keep silent.’

The Presentation

Build
Tranquility
静けさを作る 
Shizukesa o tsukuru 
ps84

This building is a home.
It is my shelter when I don't roam.

My soul longs for security.
Grace adds to the stability of this surety.

My heart aspires to growth.
My mind builds upon what's known.

It is defined as property
with the prospect of prosperity's lottery.

My spirit rejoices with love.
The love ascends as a dove
that rises above.

The sparrow and the swallow make nests.
The sparrow succors with seeds to test.
The swallow feeds insects as best.
Both rejoice with songs of success.

Happy are those who sing with joy.
They live with faith in design as the toy.

Providence bears strength
for sharing love at length.

Those with hearts set on building peace
see the forest as the trees.

Friends and competitors serve design
as sustenance secures what's mine.

Survival results in revival
as desolate places highlight the vital.

The winter sun creeps by the cold thrills.
The stubborn season threatens to stand still.

My life is light. It waits for the death wind.
Dust dances in the sun. Memory haunts the measure of sin.

Even those who go from place to place
win joy in discovery with purpose in grace
with providence as the goal for the race.

The wind blows the chill toward the dead land
while it wicks warmth from the back of my hand.

The land defends rights for those anointed
by the glistening oil of the effort appointed
to achieve success in survival with pain avoided
as salvation will not have been disappointed.

The infant is the unspoken word.
I observed the silence while my heart in wonder stirred.

Now I dismiss that which was absurd
about the stories I had heard.

Many a book my eye had scanned
to seek that design revealed to man.

Many a day had seen the mood
arise to take away the social tune. 

There with the same furrow my fathers had frowned
my tread had sped through night's long hours.

The rude antique portraiture around
had heard the whisper "that must not be known to sound."

The sound of words less earthly than my own had seen
they scarce knew what, but more should have been weaned
for the meaning meant as keen.

The might of the zodiac is fainter than the milky way.
Halfway to the equal light of spring is a cross quarter day. 

A boxer stands In the clearing, a fighter by trade.
He carries the traces of pain that his mind could not erase as saved.
Every glove that laid him down or cut him to his shame.
made him cry out in the anger that had been depraved,
I am leaving this retreating, but the fighter still remains.

One day in your presence
is better than a thousand without menace.

I would rather stand at the threshold of your house
than dwell in enmity with the enemy as my spouse.
The effort to destroy the existence of opposition is a lousy mouse.

I beheld the light of salvation
which has been reserved for the nation.

A rainbow swaddled in an infant's infinite smile of sight 
showed the shield of light that darkness had protected from the night.

Happy are those who find trust
in the goodness of the design that doesn't rust.

Tranquility will be built with joy.
Love is the tool that will be employed.

Security for the nation state
is secure when it isn't late.

The expansion of alliance 
for trade, travel and science
will reduce the defiance
that opposes guidance
to compliance
with reliance 
on license
for triumph.

Responsibility
will set us free. 

I have been appointed 
to bring good news to those anointed
with the management of labor.
Freedom is ours to savor.

The blind will receive insight.
The redeemed will take delight
in their part in leadership
as the spirit dripped device
for us to sip.

Respect your role in the healing art.
Medicine treats malady after the start.
It works until you find something better
to avoid illness or injury as your debtor.

The pharmacist creates a tricky mixture 
of herbal extracts to work as an elixir
to change the body's texture
until health becomes the fixture.

The physician  provides a service
though it may make you feel nervous
will teach you to refrain 
from that which causes pain.

Diagnosis is a skill
that helps you redirect your will
to find the cause of malady
to deter avoidable tragedy.

Give up your faults as they are found.
Diet, exercise and hygiene are elements to which we're bound.

Adjust that which you are able
around the home and at your table.

The soul is often healed
when the cause of malady has been revealed.

It is good to sing your praise.
Your spirits will be raised.

Your house will be rebuilt with peace.
Return from exile will be achieved.

The broken heart will be unbroken.
The wound will be bound as healing spoken.

The length of night decreases each day.
Equal lengths have not yet found their say.

The light will increase as it's spun.
Earth's axis is starting to tilt toward the sun.

As the Spring Equinox draws near
the orbit will straighten up from here.
The lean won't stray or sharply veer.

Gravity keeps our sphere 
on course for Spring in the year.

The number of the stars are counted.
Their course is set with majesty unbounded.

Hope in the heart of lowliness is lifted.
Pride from the reach of passion is sifted.

The harmony of the spheres is music.
Fluids move in amusement 
inside and out of that which is human.
The heavens are covered with clouds that are fluent.

Rain is prepared for life rooted and unrooted.
The earth will be given that for which it is suited.

Dormant grass on the mountain lays beneath the snow.
Much of the earth awaits the warmth to sow.

Flocks and herds find food where it can be known.
Ravens will feed on anything edible where it is thrown.

The might of a horse is a sight for delight.
Exercise strengthens the human device.

Lift your eyes before the morning light to see
a diagonal that suggests an ascent to lead.

The background for creativity waxes with courage.
Bravery aspires that leadership may flourish.

Become all things to all people for this reason.
You may save some within the season.

The she-goat shines with special favor.
The shepherd is her dutiful savior.

Faith comes by seeing beyond what was seen
when that which was seen was violent or mean.

Pleasure is preserved for those who work with fear.
Favor is shown to those who are dear.

The seven sisters are the daughters of gravity and sailing.
The winds of freedom work to alternate the strategy prevailing.

Demons are purged when correction is urged.
Concept and practice are merged when the detection has surged.

Community that seeks that which is best
earns that reprieve known as rest from the test.

Security is strengthened with the bars on your gates. 
Your children are protected with the element of grace.

Peace has been established with your borders.
Immigration is constrained when by necessity it's ordered.

We have been satisfied with wheat and corn from the earth.
Fiber and nutrients were provided for health that has worth.

Heal yourself from the cause of malady found.
You will see your self as more experienced now. 

147 Laudate Dominum

1 Hallelujah!
How good it is to sing praises to our God! *
how pleasant it is to honor him with praise!
2 The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem; *
he gathers the exiles of Israel.
3 He heals the brokenhearted *
and binds up their wounds.
4 He counts the number of the stars *
and calls them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power; *
there is no limit to his wisdom.
6 The Lord lifts up the lowly, *
but casts the wicked to the ground.
7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; *
make music to our God upon the harp.
8 He covers the heavens with clouds *
and prepares rain for the earth;
9 He makes grass to grow upon the mountains *
and green plants to serve mankind.
10 He provides food for flocks and herds *
and for the young ravens when they cry.
11 He is not impressed by the might of a horse; *
he has no pleasure in the strength of a man;
12 But the Lord has pleasure in those who fear him, *
in those who await his gracious favor.
13 Worship the Lord, O Jerusalem; *
praise your God, O Zion;
14 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; *
he has blessed your children within you.
15 He has established peace on your borders; *
he satisfies you with the finest wheat.
16 He sends out his command to the earth, *
and his word runs very swiftly.
17 He gives snow like wool; *
he scatters hoarfrost like ashes.
18 He scatters his hail like bread crumbs; *
who can stand against his cold?
19 He sends forth his word and melts them; *
he blows with his wind, and the waters flow.
20 He declares his word to Jacob, *
his statutes and his judgments to Israel.
21 He has not done so to any other nation; *
to them he has not revealed his judgments.
Hallelujah!

Isa.40:26
Lift up your eyes on high and see:
   Who created these?
He who brings out their host and numbers them,
   calling them all by name;
because he is great in strength,
   mighty in power,
   not one is missing.

1 Corinth 9:22
To the weak I became weak, so that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that I might by any means save some.

Mark 1:34
he cured many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

Each day, sunrise is a minute earlier and sunset a minute or two later. By February 4, we will enjoy an increase of one hour of daylight over the final 3 weeks of December, the darkest time of the year...
Jupiter is the brightest and highest; reddish Mars, the dimmest, is below and to the left of Jupiter; [the waxing crescent moon is between Mars and Saturn] Saturn is furthest left and closest to the horizon. Begin to look about an hour before sunrise. Sunrise on the 22nd is at 7:16; on February 4 at 7:03.

Thursday, February 2
 Right after dark this week, face east and look almost overhead. The bright star there is Capella, the Goat Star. To the right of it, by a couple of finger-widths at arm's length, is a small, narrow triangle of 3rd and 4th magnitude stars known as "the Kids." Although they're not exactly eye-grabbing, they form a never-forgotten asterism with Capella.

 Algol should be at minimum light for about two hours centered on 7:54 p.m. EST.

Friday, February 3
 First-quarter Moon (exact at 11:19 p.m. EST). At sunset the half-lit Moon is high in the south, and after dark it balances on the dim head of Cetus. Spot the stars of Aries to its upper right, and the Pleiades a little farther to its upper left.

Saturday, February 4
 In early evening the Pleiades stand above the Moon, and Aldebaran shines left of the Moon.

Isa. 61:10
he has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
   he has covered me with the robe of righteousness

Gal. 3:23
Now before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed.

John 1:5
light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
