Curo opibus
The coldness of winter has departed.
The earth has opened that new growth may be started.
Warmth has increased to heat the soil
to sprout the seed planted by the farmer's toil.
The worth of warmth is a force that has exhorted
animals to move from shelter's comfort.
Men that moved for sports or consorts
found a mate for household reports.
Birds bred broods
for flight in moods.
Seagulls
The ram butt the wether
but wouldn't harm the ewe to which he was tethered.
followed the heifer as the destiny for taurus.
The same source of warmth bred
living things under the broad bosom of the deep.
The same pressure that pressed man from savage attire
promoted personal hygiene for comfort in clean clothes as required.
A lover was the first to sing to the one desired
though his entrance through the door was denied by the higher choir.
Each pleaded his own cause to his love with eloquence
for the mother of invention in the development of relevance.
A month has passed since the vernal equinox.
Darkness has shortened by less than the length of the tail of a silver fox.
Do five sheep eat the same amount as one cow?
That's alot of hay or grass per sheep and how!
This was more significant back in the days of yor
when the boat was powered by the sail or oar.
Election has been defined for purpose.
Economic choice is aligned with service.
Spring has sprung with productive light.
Design has shed overly protective sight.
First Father of conservative reform,
you invoked the functional norms.
You are called in the hour of need
to share protection with your seed.
You rejoice in the miracle of love.
Shine your light for sight from above.
Help me to lay my trembling hold
on your altar's horn of gold.
The past had seemed a violent dream
but the blood of souls you redeemed.
There were times when the leaves blew in sight
and every flower was bathed in light.
My willfulness had burst away
from where the holy shadow laid.
I let those sunshine moments from the past
take me from where heaven my lot had cast.
I thought it scorn with you to dwell
so I lived like a hermit in a lonely cell.
Wild fancy blew his trumpet's strain
to marshall all to his sleek modern train
as on the steel rails it swiftly swept by
to catch the world's wandering eye.
I would have joined the wildness oft
but I heard your warnings, kind and soft.
"My servant, leave the world alone
on the steps of Jesus' throne."
My better soul confessed
that which was tranquil and blessed.
"Does it seem to you a stingy hand
that heaven has bade you to stand
to swing the censor's sacred fire
with the incense of the heart's desire
to touch the ark with the presence the aroma bears
while you the snow white ephod wear?"
Why crave the worldly worldling's wreath
on whom the Savior deigned to breathe?
The world of matter is not your Maker.
The Maker made you a giver as well as a taker.
Christ has the choir where angels meet
with the fruit of love for the assembly greet.
It is for those to whom the keys were given
to pour the drink as the sacred wine of heaven.
When sorrow is all our heart would ask
we need not shun our daily task
and hide ourselves for calm.
The common air is our balm.
The herbs we seek to heal our woe
are familiar by our pathway grown.
The bright flowers of Eden bloom and twine
around each hallowed domestic shrine.
The hearth that holds the altar's all
is that by which unseen foes are appalled.
The prayers of hungry souls are stored
like armed angels at the entry door.
The joy that is sweetest in decay
falls not like withered leaves away.
Like violets drooping one by one
as soon as their fragrant task is done
with the silence of the Spirit's breath
are carried off to heaven by death.
Jesus of Nazareth had been attested by God to you
with deeds of power and signs that pointed to that which was true.
He was crucified and killed by hands outside the law.
He was raised from the dead because death could not hold him at all.
The purity of your faith has been tried by various trials.
Genuine faith endures at length whereas the tests last a little while.
Jesus was tested for his faith too
that you might see that it is Christ that lives in you.
Salvation is the outcome for true belief.
Glorious joy will provide you with relief.
The Son sent the messengers (apostolos)
to proclaim the good news to questioners
as though he had breathed on them from the sepulcher.
The forgiveness of sins was integral to conversion
that the cleansing of baptism in the Spirit's immersion
would give birth to the love of God as the inversion
of the polytheist belief in cruel or violent aversion
to intuitive inspersion or interspersion.
A person is born in the image of God by conversion.
The universe is the machine for energy sought in recursion
through the design of nature as it ought to be taught with convergence
and emergence.
Conserving resources preserves energy.
The management works continually.
The cultivation of production in time
works best when managed with respect for design.
The rule of law is for protection.
Crime is subject to correction.
Cruelty in punishment is not the cure.
Direction by correction works for sure.
Delight is shown with respect for others.
Joy is a reward that doesn't smother.
Law that places profit from violence above people is flawed.
War or genocide is not to be held in awe.
Life rules the living.
Love favors giving.
Order by design is my proportion.
This table doesn't suffer from mass distortion.
Boundaries enclose pleasure
as a measured treasure.
Healthy happiness is a good heritage.
It works in and outside of marriage.
My heart reviews reaching for the teaching of truth.
This teaching is not reserved for the dismissal of youth.
Good counsel is blessed.
It helps you test for the best.
Don't support the rule of death.
It is more destructive than a missiled jet.
Justice with liberty is the goal of law.
Equity is that which the economy has to draw.
The accomplishment before me
is built upon the accomplishment seen.
My heart rejoices. My spirit is glad.
My strength avoids that which is bad.
I have not been condemned by the grave.
The rule of death does not bless or save.
The path to life is being known
by the design that is shown.
Those that sleep will wake
to rise or fall with respect for that which is great.
Let us approach authority in the house of worship
with a true heart and a conscience cleansed to cure it.
There will be disasters in various places.
There will be recovery with respect for stages.
The elegance of power requires restrant for the driven.
Intuition regarding objects provides a frame for reality in existence.
The colors of dried sedge provide objects for subsistence.
Mats and hats are useful to protect floors and provide solar resistance.
Exercise generates radiance for your tower
as you watch over the valley like a book for the hours.
The majesty of beauty in the language
builds prestige for you in the reduction of anguish.
There is fullness of joy in your presence.
Search for the essential essence
gives joy as a gift for the present.

16 Conserva me, Domine
Conserve me, Dominated
1 Protect me, O God, for I take refuge in you;
I have said to the Lord, "You are my Lord,
my good above all other."
2 All my delight is upon the godly that are in the land,
upon those who are noble among the people.
3 But those who run after other gods
shall have their troubles multiplied.
4 Their libations of blood I will not offer,
nor take the names of their gods upon my lips.
5 O Lord, you are my portion and my cup;
it is you who uphold my lot.
6 My boundaries enclose a pleasant land;
indeed, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
my heart teaches me, night after night.
8 I have set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand I shall not fall.
9 My heart, therefore, is glad, and my spirit rejoices;
my body also shall rest in hope.
10 For you will not abandon me to the grave,
nor let your holy one see the Pit.
11 You will show me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy,
and in your right hand are pleasures for evermore.

Psalm 16
A Miktam of David
The psalm is titled as a Miktam of David. The word 'mitcham' is Old English. Micel means 'big'. Ham means 'homestead.' Together the word means 'settlement.'
'Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge.'
The sense of settlement is used as the basis for the expression of gratitude. That which is right about the defense of that which is known about the development of the settlement is used as a petition for protection.
'I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord. I have no good apart from you."'
Goodness was attained with blessing from the Author of creation. No goodness was gained without the recognition of the Creator.
'The noble are the holy ones in the land. All my delight is in them.'
The transcendent aspect of what was established with the management of labor provided the experience of the real presence as it helped to build community in the settlement.
'Those who choose another god multiply their sorrows.'
The multiplication of sorrows is the consequence for not looking at the human condition in the situation from the perspective of the wholeness of creation.
'The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup. You hold my lot.'
Choice is the vessel for the promotion of the divine will. This will desires the cooperation of the human and the divine for the sustainment of goodness.
Choice is embodied in the vessel. The cup is an image of good choice as a portion among possibilities.
'I keep the Lord always before me. I shall not be moved because he is at my right hand.'
That which is right about provision for the settlement sets the policy for functional operation.
Change in policy is only warranted when the change represents something as good or better than established procedure.
'My heart is glad. My soul rejoices. My body also rests secure.'
The benefit for policy based on established procedure is joy with security.
'You did not give me up to Sheol or let your faithful one see the pit.'
Disregard for reasonable rules of operation casts the feeling of certainty into the shadow of doubt.
The royal office was given more importance than that of the prophet when it operates for the security of the state with goodness. The prophet Jeremiah was thrown into the pit in order to check the veracity of his vision.
'You show me the path of life. There is fullness of joy in your presence. Pleasures forever at in your right hand.'
Security comes from the knowledge of what works for protection. Knowledge provides the path of life insofar as it is derived from the goodness of creation in accord with the will of the Creator.
This was a psalm of faith. The psalmist sought refuge in the Name of the one God as his sovereign Lord and goodness (v. 1-2). Divine favor was embodied in the good pleasure of the faithful, the lights of insight for life in civilization (v. 3).
The apostates multiplied their sorrows. They separated themselves from goodness with their impiety. (v. 4).
Y-hw-h was the choice of the psalmist for his portion and his inheritance in pleasant places (v. 5-6). His counsel was enjoyed (v. 7) and for the continual helpful presence (v. 8).
He was glad and secure (v. 9) in the confidence that he would not be abandoned in Sheol (v. 10). He had the faith that he would be granted life and joy forever in the real presence of the divine essence.

'Fasti'
Ovid
4th Month
"... April was named from the open (apertum) season, because spring then opens (aperit) all things, and the sharp frost-bound cold departs, and the earth unlocks her teeming soil, though kindly Venus claims the month and lays her hand on it. She indeed sways, and well deserves to sway, the world entire; she owns a kingdom second to that of no god; she gives laws to heaven and earth and to her native sea, and by her inspiration she keeps every species in being. She created all the gods – ‘twere long to number them; she bestowed on seeds and trees their origins. She drew rude-minded men together and taught them to pair each with his mate. What but bland pleasure brings into being the whole brood of birds? Cattle, too, would not come together, were loose love wanting. The savage ram butts at the wether, but would not hurt the forehead of the ewe he loves. The bull, whom all the woodland pastures, all the groves do dread, puts off his fierceness and follows the heifer. The same force preserves all living things under the broad bosom of the deep, and fills the waters with unnumbered fish. That force first stripped man of his savage garb; from it he learned decent attire and personal cleanliness. A lover was the first, they say, to serenade by night the mistress who denied him entrance, while he sang at her barred door, and to win the heart of a coy maid was eloquence indeed; every man then pleaded his own cause. This goddess has been the mother of a thousand arts; the wish to please has given birth to many inventions that were unknown before."

April
The Lyre of Orpheus
The Lyrids meteor shower appears on April 16 - April 26 each year. The peak generally occurs on April 22. The radiant of the meteor shower is located in the constellation Lyra.
The radiant of a meteor shower is the celestial point in the sky from which from the point of view of a terrestrial observer the paths of meteors appear to originate.
Lyra represents the lyre of Orpheus in Greek mythology. It was made by Hermes from a tortoise shell and given to Apollo in a bargain as the first lyre ever made.
Recitations of lyric poetry were accompanied by playing the lyre. The earliest picture of a stringed instrument with seven strings appears in the famous sarcophagus of Hagia Triada (a Minoan settlement in Crete). The sarcophagus was used during the Mycenaean occupation of Crete (c. 1400 BCE).
Orpheus's music was said to be so great that even inanimate objects such as trees, streams and rocks could be charmed.
Jason and the Argonauts
His music was able to quell the voices of the dangerous Sirens when he joined Jason and the Argonauts on their mission to obtain the golden fleece. The Sirens sang tempting songs to the Argonauts in an effort to lure them to crash their ship against the rocks.
Orpheus married the nymph Eurydice. She stepped on a snake while fleeing from an attack by Aristaeus. The snake bite killed her.
Orpheus entered the Underworld to reclaim her. He used the music from his lyre to charm Hades. Hades allowed him to take his wife back on one condition. He must never look back until he reached outside.
Orpheus faltered and looked back near the end of the journey. Eurydice was left in the Underworld forever.
Orpheus spent the rest of his life strumming his lyre while wandering aimlessly through the land. He rejected all marriage proposals from the women who were enchanted by his music.
The story of the journey to the underworld is a variant of a common motif in mythology. The trip represents the sun's relative dormancy during the winter months. The Greek word ορφνη (orphne) means "the darkness of night".
The darkness of the night is longer in the winter months. The distance of the sun from the earth doesn't produce enough warmth to grow plants in northern regions.
Orpheus disdained the worship of all gods except the sun whom he called Apollo towards the end of his life according to a Late Antique summary of Aeschylus' lost play Bassarids.
He went to the oracle of Dionysus at Mount Pangaion to salute his new god at dawn, but was ripped to shreds by Thracian Maenads for not honoring his previous patron (Dionysus).
Ovid gave a different account about the end of his life. The Ciconian women were followers of
Dionysus. They felt spurned by Orpheus for taking only male lovers (eromenoi).
They threw sticks and stones at him as he played, but his music was so beautiful even the rocks and branches refused to hit him.
The women tore him to pieces during the frenzy of their Bacchic orgy of rage.
His lyre was carried to heaven by the Muses and was placed among the stars.
The appearance of the Lyrids in the night sky signals the celebration of the return of Spring.

Christ Raised from the Dead
The author of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles was charged with the responsibility to persuade the Greek reader that the gospel as taught by Jesus during his ministry was repeated by the apostles in theirs.
The Greek reader had the Greek, Roman, Judaic and Persian empires to consider in terms of experience. This included the Egyptian and Babylonian empires insofar as they had preceded the Greek and Roman forms. What was it about Jesus and his teaching that made his message worthy of consideration?
How did the proclamation of love serve as the basis for belief in the miracle of being healed? What did his death on the cross, his resurreciton from the dead and his ascension into heaven have to say to the world?
The first chapter recounted the 40 cays after the resurrection. The Holy Spirit was presented as the divine agent for the extension of the incarnation of Christ into the apostolic Church.
The disciples had devoted themselves with one accord in prayer to wait for the parousia of the Holy Spirit along with the mother of Jesus, his brothers and some women in the upper room in Jerusalem.
The 'parousia' was a term that had been borrowed from empire as a call to prepare for a visit from the emperor.
Preparation for the arrival of such an important visitor gave the community something to anticipate in the way of organization for celebration.
The Greek reader was being advised that the gospel was a means to change the religious cultural context from a polytheistic to a monotheistic environment.
The apostles would come to warn the community against eating meat offered in sacrifice to idols. They would also predict the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple.
While they had already been circumcised, Peter and Paul would rise to deny the challenge that adult converts would have to be circumcized in accord with Judaic custom.
It was reported that Matthias was elected to replace Judas. Judas was the symbolic representation of excess investment in devotion to the service of the poor with rebellion or betrayal.
Membership in the monotheistic community would come to be challenged as though it were an act of treason. Confidentiality was for the protection of the community that the Church represented.
The biblical narrative of Pentecost is given in the second chapter of the Book of Acts. Those present were numbered at about one hundred and twenty followers of Christ (Acts 1:15).
Their empowerment to speak in tongues to preach the gospel to the nations was granted with the reception of the Holy Spirit.
The details were recounted in Acts 2:1-6.
Acts 2:14, 22-24
Peter, standing with the 11, raised his voice and addressed them: 'Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you...
'Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with deeds of power, wonders and signs that were done through him and among you as you yourselves know. This man was handed over to you according to the plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law. God raised him up. He freed him from death because it was impossible for him to be held in its power.
------------------
Jesus of Nazareth had been attested by God to you
with deeds of power and signs that pointed to that which was true.
He was crucified and killed by hands outside the law.
He was raised from the dead because death could not hold him with awe.
==============
Test by Fire
1 Peter 1
The author of the epistle identified himself as the apostle. The text of the letter states that it was written from Babylon (1 Peter 5:13). This has traditionally been used to attribute the letter to Rome, but he instructed the readers to 'Honor the king' (1 Peter 2:17).
This presents a problem to the traditional view. The emperor was the leader of the Roman republic, but he was not titled as the king in Rome.
This favors the placement for where the letter was written in Jerusalem where the king was a client of the empire.
Peter had directed compliance with the civil authority whether it was a king or governor (1 Peter 2:13). He wrote that such authority had been appointed to punish "evildoers" (1 Peter 2:14).
The letter was addressed to the "strangers" in Asia Minor (1 Peter 1:1). There were kings and governors in the area.
The members were called 'strangers' because there were mostly Gentile converts in the various churches in Asia Minor. They were suffering religious persecution, because they were new monotheists.
The Romans were polytheists. The Jews were monotheists with different customs. Baptism was presented as the initiation rite for the Church (1 Peter 3:20). The cleansing was declared a symbol of being 'saved by water' like Noah.
The following passage is the first explanation for the persecution. It was a test by fire to determine whether the metal that looked golden was fake.
Fire assays are the standard for valuing gold and silver at major mining companies and refineries. A precious metal sample is melted down to test for purity. When the sample is found to be mainly pure, it is valued as precious. It is closest to the base element.
1 Peter 1:6-9
You rejoice in this even if you have had to suffer various trials for a little while, so the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that is perishable, is tested by fire that it may be found to result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
Although you have not seen him, you live him. Even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy. You are receiving the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
------------------
The purity of your faith has been tried by various trials.
Genuine faith endures at length whereas the tests last a little while.
Jesus was tested for his faith too
that you might see that it is Christ that lives in you.
Salvation is the outcome for true belief.
Glorious joy will provide you with relief.
==============
The future is conditioned by the interpretation of experience. When there is no allowance for improvement in condition, the only growth that can happen is by accident. Polytheism had this kind of problem with the closeness to primtive life.
There was a kind of eternal recurrence that made improvement for the liberals dependent upon the enslavement of primitives with the threat of genocide. Manumission was possible, but the prevalent trend was to make the slaves into a class with indefinite extension.
Jesus was better than Cyrus insofar as he represented the potential to liberate the Gentile world from indefinite enslavement to slavery. He also 'set the captives' free, but he promoted the love of God as the key to the liberation.
The successors to Cyrus used the threat of genocide to enslave those who did not give enough to the extension of the empire. The apostolic succession could not lay claim to such a policy without the diminishment of apostolicity.
------------------------
The Testimony of the Scriptures
This part of the chapter describes the persuasion that was presented to those who limited agreement to the testimony of sense perception.
Mary had gone to the tomb to tend to the body of Jesus, but found it empty. She had told the leaders of the disciples that they didn't know where the body was.
Peter and John ran to the tomb to find the linen clothes in which the body of Jesus had been wrapped. John saw and believed what had been said.
They had yet to know that the scripture had testified that he must rise from the dead.
The presence of Christ was revealed to her by the testimony of angels and the recollection of what Jesus had said about faith from the scriptures. She told the other disciples that she had seen the risen Christ.
The same presence was revealed to other disciples on the same day at evening. It was the first day of the week. He was witnessed in their midst behind closed doors.
Jesus showed them his hands and side. He gave them the apostolic mission with his breath. He said, 'As the Father has sent me, even send I you' (John 20:21). The Greek word 'apostolos' means messengers.
Mercy was the criterion for judgment in the conduct of their duty. Forgiveness was to be given or retained based on this criterion.
The observation of the senses had to be checked against the scriptures for apostolic verity.
John 20:20-23
Jesus showed the disciples his hands and his side. They rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them, 'Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.'
When he had said this, he breathed on them and said, 'Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven. If you retain the sins of any, they are retained.'
------------------
The Son sent the messengers (apostolos)
to proclaim the good news to questioners
as though he had breathed on them from the sepulcher.
The forgiveness of sins was integral to conversion
that the cleansing of baptism in the Spirit's immersion
would give birth to the love of God as the inversion
of the polytheist belief in cruel or violent aversion
to intuitive inspersion or interspersion.
