I love that I found help when I needed it.
Salvation came and I heeded it.
I felt desperate. My mind cried for direction.
Choice was compressed to this bit. I had to select protection
from the danger of dereliction.
I found what I needed before the moment of crisis.
The rightness in choice was decisive.
The cords of death had entangled me.
My sight was so strangled, I had to get free.
The grip of the grave grapple grabbed
until my adam's apple gagged
while seeing the sensible source sag
from the sense perception had.
Sorrow drove sadness to the threshold of pain.
The horror drove madness to enfold the insane.
Then I cried for help
after yapping a yelp,
“What do I have to do to find safety?
I need it now. I need it greatly.”
The success of salvation is gracious.
It was so efficacious, it was almost salacious.
Nothing else is quite so profound
as wonder in the world once it has been found.
Defense is granted to the watchful
if only because the watchful
watch for the goodness of the gospel.
I felt that I fell very low, but I was helped.
I exempted contempt for what I was dealt.
It is time to rest
now that I have been blessed
with the quest to sing of salvation with zest.
Stress from the test has worn my torn soul.
I will do my best to celebrate life as a whole.
I was rescued from death.
Help was given in the test.
My eyes shed natural tears.
I was grateful for my years.
My feet did not stumble
though I felt glad and humble.
I will walk in the presence
of the divine essence
in the land of the living
to give thanks for the giving.
I believed even when
I had been brought to a bend
when I said,
“No one can be trusted
when your trust has been busted.”
How will I repay my debt
without regret
for all the good things
carried by angel wings?
I will lift up the cup of salvation
and hold it high as a libation.
I will fulfill my promise to live
with reverence for life as a gift
in the rule of law that we win
in transcending sin.
Precious in the sight of divine Light
is the death of those who defended rights.
They lived good lives.
I am a defender of rights.
I have been resurrected as a good life
by the experience that brought me past strife.
I tasted a glimpse of the abyss.
It was black and gray with white lights in the tryst.
I have been freed from the world of discrimination
to recount deliverance by narration.
My ear has been opened.
I hear sounds that are spoken.
From the same mouth come blessing and curse.
Speech should be the garden ground for verse.
Who do you say that I am?
You are anointed to pass the exam.
I was not rebellious,
reckless or helpless.
I did not turn backwards.
I spoke in exact words.
Bravery is most bold when prepared.
Faith looks for benign design to be shared.
Time starts to grow bold.
The word shares the beauty of hope.
Hope desires goodness
to add to the fullness.
Measure the base
to secure great restraint
by improving drainage for rain.
The bug pulls the stem.
You straighten the hem.
The bridge to love leads the way
to the right thing to do or say.
I will offer thanksgiving as my sacrifice.
I will give thanks to the Giver of life.
I will speak with reason for the reasonable acceptance
of benefit for people in the presence
of the divine essence
in the assembly in public
in the city of peace that is love lit
by the waters near where the dove sits.
Yea Yah!
You fill me with awe!
116 Dilexi, quoniam
1 I love the Lord, because he has heard the voice of
my supplication, *
because he has inclined his ear to me whenever
I called upon him.
2 The cords of death entangled me;
the grip of the grave took hold of me; *
I came to grief and sorrow.
3 Then I called upon the Name of the Lord: *
"O Lord, I pray you, save my life."
4 Gracious is the Lord and righteous; *
our God is full of compassion.
5 The Lord watches over the innocent; *
I was brought very low, and he helped me.
6 Turn again to your rest, O my soul. *
for the Lord has treated you well.
7 For you have rescued my life from death, *
my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.
8 I will walk in the presence of the Lord *
in the land of the living.
9 I believed, even when I said,
"I have been brought very low." *
In my distress I said, "No one can be trusted."
10 How shall I repay the Lord *
for all the good things he has done for me?
11 I will lift up the cup of salvation *
and call upon the Name of the Lord.
12 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord *
in the presence of all his people.
13 Precious in the sight of the Lord *
is the death of his servants.
14 O Lord, I am your servant; *
I am your servant and the child of your handmaid;
you have freed me from my bonds.
15 I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving *
and call upon the Name of the Lord.
16 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord *
in the presence of all his people,
17 In the courts of the Lord's house, *
in the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!
Isa. 50:5
The Lord God has opened my ear,
and I was not rebellious,
I did not turn backwards.
James 3:10
From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this ought not to be so.
Mk. 8:29
Jesus asked them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’ Peter answered him, ‘You are the Messiah.’

Bermersheim vor der Höhe lies in Germany’s biggest winegrowing district. It is the winegrowing center in the middle of Rhine Hesse.
People settled there before the Romans came because the location favored trade with the convenience of a transportion hub. It is located on the confluence of the Nahe and Rhine rivers. It is at the Rhine's entry into the gorge in the area. A Celtic (Gaulish) settlement by the name of Binge – meaning "rift" was established.
Roman troops were stationed in Bingen on the Rhine Valley Road in the early first century CE. They changed the location's name to Bingium. There the Romans erected a wooden bridge across the Nahe and constructed a bridgehead castrum. A castrum was a fortified military camp.
A Roman Mithraic monument which included a mutilated sculpture representing the nativity of Mithra was discovered in Bingen. One of its inscriptions is dated 236.
Mithras is sculpted as being born from a rock. He is shown as emerging already in his youth with a dagger in one hand and a torch in the other. He is nude, standing with his legs together emergent from the stone. He is wearing a Phrygian cap.
Another sculpture of Mithras shows him in an Anatolian costume. He is wearing a Phrygian cap in this depiction as well. He is kneeling on a bull which had been exhausted by being ridden. He is holding it by the nostrils with his left hand and stabbing it in the neck with his right. He looks to Sol with whom he will share the meat of the beast in a feast.
The sculpture distinguishes Mithraism from that part of the Hindi religion that will not sacrifice cows. The creatures are believed to be sacred.
The cult of Mithra represented another step in the direction of a monotheistic religion for Rome. The image of the sun represented the rise of one leader to power.
A Christian community was established in Bingen between 335 and 360 by the presbyter Aetherius of Bingen. Bearing witness to this time is Aetherius's gravestone. The stone can still be seen in Saint Martin's Basilica.
The town became a Frankish royal estate and passed in 983 by the Donation of Verona from Otto II to Archbishop Willigis of Mainz. The Binger Kammerforst (forest) came into being with Otto III. A stone bridge (Drususbrücke) was built some way up the river Nahe under Willigis.
The inhabitants of Bingen strove time and again for independence.The dispute between the Archbishop of Mainz and the Emperor led to destruction in 1165.
Hildegard was born around the year 1098. Her parents were Mechtild of Merxheim-Nahet and Hildebert of Bermersheim. They were a family of the free lower nobility in the service of the Count Meginhard of Sponheim.
Hildegard was sickly from birth. She is traditionally considered to have been their youngest and tenth child, but there are records of seven older siblings. Hildegard states in her Vita that from a very young age she had experienced visions.
She was a German Benedictine abbess, writer, composer, philosopher, Christian mystic, visionary and polymath. She is considered to be the founder of scientific natural history in Germany.
Hildegard was elected magistra by her fellow nuns in 1136. She founded the monasteries of Rupertsberg in 1150 and Eibingen in 1165. One of her works as a composer, the Ordo Virtutum, is an early example of liturgical drama. It is arguably the oldest surviving morality play.
She wrote theological, botanical and medicinal texts as well as letters, liturgical songs and poems. She supervised miniature illuminations in the Rupertsberg manuscript of her first work, Scivias. She is also noted for the invention of a constructed language known as Lingua Ignota.
Pope Benedict XVI named her a Doctor of the Church in 2012.

The city is near the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson rivers in eastern New York. It is in the same metropolitan area as the state capital, Albany. The capital is about 15 miles (24 km) southeast.
The name "Schenectady" is derived from a Mohawk word, skahnéhtati. It means "beyond the pines".
The city was founded on the south side of the Mohawk River by Dutch colonists in the 17th century.
Many moved from the Albany area. They were prohibited from the fur trade by the Albany monopoly. The monopoly kept its control after the English takeover in 1664.
Residents of the new village developed farms on strip plots along the river. Trade and travel was connected to the west via the Mohawk River and Erie Canal. The city developed rapidly in the 19th century as part of the Mohawk Valley trade, manufacturing and transportation corridor.
More people worked in manufacturing than agriculture or trade by 1824. The city had a cotton mill. It processed cotton from the Deep South. Numerous mills in New York had such ties with the South.
Nationally influential companies and industries developed in Schenectady through the 19th century.
General Electric and American Locomotive Company (ALCO) were included as powers into the mid-20th century. The city became part of emerging technologies with GE collaborating in the production of nuclear-powered submarines. It has been working on developing other forms of renewable energy in the 21st century.
Micky was named Philip Andre Rourke Jr. at birth. He was born on September 9, 1952 in Schenectady, New York. He was the son of Annette (née Cameron) and Philip Andre Rourke, Sr. His father was of Irish and German descent. His mother had Scottish, French, English and German ancestry.
He was raised Roman Catholic and still practices his faith. His father was an amateur body builder. He left the family when Mickey was six years old. His mother married Eugene Addis, a Miami Beach police officer with five sons after his parents divorced. He moved Rourke, his younger brother (Joey) and their sister (Patricia) to South Florida. There, he graduated from Miami Beach Senior High School in 1971.
He had a short career as a boxer. His amateur boxing record was 27 wins and 3 losses.
Mickey Rourke is an American actor and screenwriter who has appeared primarily as a leading man in drama, action and thriller films.
Rourke starred in the comedy-drama Diner (1982), the drama Rumble Fish (1983), the crime-black comedy film The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984) and the erotic drama 9½ Weeks (1986) during the 1980's. He received critical praise for his work in the Charles Bukowski biopic Barfly and the horror mystery Angel Heart (both 1987).
Rourke teamed up with Don Johnson and Tom Sizemore in the cult classic action film Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man in 1991. Rourke had trained as a boxer in his early years. He left acting and became a professional boxer for a time in 1991.
Rourke returned to acting and had supporting roles in several films after retiring from boxing in 1994. He was in the drama The Rainmaker (1997), the comedy-drama Buffalo '66 (1998), the thriller-remake of Get Carter (2000), the mystery film The Pledge (2001), the crime dark comedy-drama Spun (2002), the action film Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003) and the action thriller Man on Fire (2004). He played the role of a corrupt lawyer in the last film.
Rourke made his comeback in mainstream Hollywood circles with a lead role in the neo-noir action thriller Sin City in 2005. He won awards for his role from the Chicago Film Critics Association, the Irish Film and Television Awards and the Online Film Critics Society. He portrayed a past-his-prime wrestler in the 2008 film The Wrestler. He received a 2009 Golden Globe award, a BAFTA award and an Academy Award nomination for his work in the film.
He has appeared in several commercially successful films since then. These films included Iron Man 2 and The Expendables in 2010. He played the mortal king Hyperion in the 2011 film Immortals.

The Move of the Spirit was the unofficial name of a non-denominational charismatic Christian group that was started in the 1960's in Florida by Sam Fife, a former Baptist preacher.
Sam Fife used elements of charismatic ministry in his ministry in the early 1960's. He started at his church in New Orleans, then in his prayer group in Miami, Florida. His theology has been related to the Body of Christ movement. Free-spirited thinkers were craving answers. It was in the heart of the drug era. Sam Fife claimed that he would never die. His movement was presented as a non-denominational, non-profit charismatic international Christian organization.
Fife was considered an apostle by way of the five-fold ministry. A passage from Ephesians (Eph.4:11) was used to define the different ministries. It says Jesus gave some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.
Fife established ‘farms’ in Columbia, Canada and Alaska within a few years. Thousands of members still live on communal farms all over the world. Each member handed over half of their income to the 'farm'.
Pastors collected the income and acted as investment advisors. Move members dressed conservatively. Women were required to wear long skirts and shorter hair. They needed permission to go anywhere. Advice was given to members by elders in a life or death situation. Family visits had to be approved by elders.
Sources have shared reports of the organization's involvement with the horrifying torture technique of "waterboarding." It was performed on members who “didn't listen.” Some ex-members reported suffering physical, sexual and psychological abuse by leaders and elders while involved with this group.
Non-communal congregations also exist as “city bodies.” No one knows what became of Fife. It was claimed that he died in a plane wreck in South America, but no one could ever find proof.
Fife's teachings lived on through another minister named Buddy Cobb after his death. He published his own booklets and founded the Covenant Life College in 1982 in Fitzgerald, Georgia. Cobb has developed the concept that the goal of the Christian is "sinless perfection." He cites it as a requirement to be saved. Cobb stresses that we shall be saved by his (Christ's) life. He defines his life as reaching sinless perfection in living as "Dead to Sin."
A group named MOVE was established in Philadelphia in 1972. This was a black liberation group founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by John Africa (born Vincent Leaphart) in 1972. The name is not an acronym. The group lived in a communal setting in West Philadelphia. The communal setting makes the group similar to the Move of the Spirit. This group lived by philosophies of anarcho-primitivism. The group combined revolutionary ideology similar to that of the Black Panthers with work for animal rights.
The group is particularly known for two major conflicts with the Philadelphia Police Department. A standoff resulted in the death of one police officer, injuries to several other people and life sentences for nine members. These members were convicted of killing the officer in 1978.
Another confrontation ended when a police helicopter dropped a bomb on the MOVE compound in 1985. The compound was a row house in the middle of the 6200 block of Osage Avenue. The resulting fire killed eleven MOVE members. The total included five children. Sixty five houses were destroyed in the neighborhood. No civil official was charged with an offense. The survivors later filed a civil suit against the city and the police department. They were awarded $1.5 million dollars in a 1996 settlement.
One Liberty Place was completed in 1987 in Philadelphia. It is a 61-story, 945-foot (288 m) skyscraper. It is part of a complex called Liberty Place. The complex has another 58 story skyscraper, a two-story shopping mall called the Shops at Liberty Place and the 14-story Westin Philadelphia Hotel. Building the skyscrapers ended the 'gentleman's agreement' to not build anything taller than the statue of William Penn on Philadelphia City Hall. Construction on the complex started in 1985 and ended in 1987.
Sarah Steele was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on September 16, 1988. Her mother, Katherine A. High, is a hematology oncology physician at the University of Pennsylvania. Her father, George Steele, is an internal medicine physician specializing in nutrition who was on the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
Steele graduated with the class of 2006 from The Episcopal Academy, a private school in southeast Pennsylvania. She graduated from Columbia University in 2011 with a B.A. in comparative literature.
Sarah is an American actress. She is best known for her role as Marissa Gold on the CBS legal drama The Good Wife and its spinoff series The Good Fight. She has appeared in a number of successful films and TV series as well.

Sakai is located in far northern Fukui Prefecture. It is bordered by the city of Awara to the north, the Ishikawa Prefecture to the east and the Sea of Japan to the west, The city of Fukui borders the city to the south. The Kuzuryū River flows through the city. It is about 750 km (465 miles) to S. Korea.
The town of Maruoka was consolidated into the city of Sakai . The town’s main claim to fame is the historic treasure at its heart: Maruoka Castle. The castle was completed in 1576. It is one of just 12 across Japan that still have their original tenshu or main tower.
The wooden structure collapsed during the 1948 Fukui earthquake, but the subsequent restoration work managed to rescue about 80% of the original material. A scale model inside the main tower shows what the castle and the surrounding town looked like during the Edo Period. Virtually nothing but the tenshu has survived to the present day.
The semi-legendary Kofun period Emperor Keitai is said to have come from the area that is now the Maruoka neighbourhood of Sakai. The area was divided between the holdings of Maruoka Domain, Fukui Domain and tenryō holdings directly under control of the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period.
The area was organised into part of Sakai District in Fukui Prefecture following the Meiji restoration. The epicentre of the 1948 Fukui earthquake was in Maruoka.
Takahashi Ai was born on September 14, 1986 in Sakai, Fukui Prefecture. She practiced ballet during her childhood. She is a Japanese singer, actress and model managed by UP-FRONT CREATE. She is best known as a former leader of Morning Musume and Hello! Project.
She first joined Morning Musume in 2001 through the 5th generation auditions. She replaced Mari Yaguchi in Mini Moni in 2003.
She became the leader of Morning Musume and Hello! Project in 2007. Risa Niigaki and Ai Takahashi became the first members to remain in Morning Musume for eight years on August 26, 2009.They were the longest-serving members in Morning Musume history. They had broken the four-year-old record set by Kaori Iida.
Ai-chan passed both leadership positions to fellow 5th generation member Niigaki Risa when she graduated on September 30, 2011. She was one of the longest-serving Morning Musume leaders.
Yuko. Llida and Ai served for four years each. Ai was in Morning Musume for ten years when she graduated. She added an element of playful sexiness to the joyful persona that had been displayed by the leadership. She enjoys singing and dancing with character.
Takashi has focused on acting and modeling. She has become known as a "fashion icon" since her graduation from Hello! Project. She has teamed up with Tanaka Reina, Morning Musume and Risa Niigaki for different musical performances on video.

Jeremiah called for help
from the depths of the well.
Jonah cried to be delivered in the tale
about his confinement in the belly of the whale.
This can be taken to mean
that he was trapped where he couldn't be heard or seen.
I have called to be saved out of the depths.
My cries have had the length of my breath.
I hope to see the sea again,
to see the lonely ocean and sky as friend.
I love it when there is a grey mist on the sea’s face.
The sky and water grace the trace of space for the next interface.
All I'll need is a sturdy ship, a star to steer by eye,
a stern to turn, the wind’s song and a sail to make time.
She will sing beyond the prowess of the prow for me.
The water will have never formed a voice so keen
as the genius she will bring to be heard, seen and believed.
She is the whole body of the bonnie boat.
Her sails flap and flutter like an empty overcoat
in between the tracks of the tacks against the wind as she is wrote.
What bolt of cloth has made you mine?
How dare you hold the wind in time?
She is formed by the waves of the ocean.
The smooth cliffs stand tall like an act of devotion.
The mermaids shaped them as a monument
to the heart of the sailors who gave beyond the continent.
They had died when predatory winds had gathered clouds
like lions to watch the water act as a burial shroud.
The teeth of the beast tore open the existence of soul.
She flew out to meet the stars so other sailors would find their way home.
Her mimic motion made a constant cry
for a course that was, yet is not mine.
It was not even ours although we understood
the inhuman purpose of the veritable ocean as good.
It told us to not lose heart or waste away.
Our nature will be renewed each day.
This fearful trip is nearly done.
The prize we sought has been won.
The ship has weathered every rack.
The seagulls cheer. The grackles grack.
The port is near.
The bells clear the pier.
The people rejoice in their own business.
The steady keel formed the feel for the vessel as your witness.
An oyster lives in the boundless space within his shell.
Alone, unseen, protected, limited in motion by ocean swells,
he sleeps behind the sheltering rock
to roll with wakeful moments for taking stock without shock
the told toll of the ebb and flow of the infinite deep as his clock
to produce a pearl as lovely as the music of Bach.
The turning tide will flood to its height
but the oyster's being lives with insight
tied to the narrow shell of limited fight
as the shining sign of calm delight.
I was able to go to the ocean without drowning in it,
because I was balanced like a vessel just launched with a waterline fit.
That lasted only for a while. When we moved, I rolled it up again
to store it in the shed behind our house until after the next bend
of the visual plane
into a hurricane.
I have memories of buying a piece of the beautiful ocean
in a market with a ceiling of blue sky from the man selling the notion of motion
by spreading it out like a carpet and rolling it up to make the promotion
without commotion like a landscape seen in an afternoon nap as an omen
of ambrosian devotion pondering the dark dank stratagem of the ocean's motion.
Who beheld the figure of cloud bloom in the thick marine
like a silent boom that emerged from the unseen?
Like what bloom? Like a little purple plumbago horn in tune
or a white jasmine star for the green leaves to adore as adorned in June?
These were shaken off from the loosed girdles in the spangling must
of the windblown trust in the global earthen thrust.
C'etait avant ma foi, bon chance divine.
Get a nonchalant detente to ease the scene
for the automated teller machine.
Mon repos in royalty has been so lean.
The nakedness would rise and suddenly turn
the bluest back track for sea-clouds above the great green urn.
Nakedness became the broadest of pentagram blooms
for the mild mannered mallows that the sun consumed.
The eagle soars high, wild and free
with an elegance and grace that is wonderful to see,
hovering with majesty in the summer breeze,
floating so gently with such perfect ease,
as graceful as the air in the line of sight,
there's nothing quite as regal as an eagle in flight.
When man flies,
he assaults the sky.
He aims to claim the air as honest
to repay the good you gave as promised.
Human presence longs to dance with the wind
to touch the mountain top fringe
and sail over the canyon rims
before climbing to see starlight in day as dim.
The reach is for heaven.
Hope for the future is our leaven.
We seek to reach all that we can be in being.
We are not limited to what has been as all that can be seen in seeing.
A flash of silver slants through the skies.
The roar provides speed as the jet flies.
Dizziness lends ecstasy to the eyes.
I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
to dance in the sky with mirth
in sun split clouds that give birth
to soaring turns that hide the craft's girth.
I’ve chased the shouting wind as new
through footless halls of air in burning blue.
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with grace.
Spirit leapt from the bourn in time and space.
I hoped to see my Pilot face to face
through the atmosphere which I displaced.
The beauty of brothers in the celestial line appears.
Love builds a stately house for fortune to rear.
If you were to come to this house of prayer
like the broken Saul seeking a soothsayer;
if you were to come after seeing the ugly toad,
it would be the same when you leave the road.
Turn behind the pig-sty to the dull facade.
Pass the tombstone on the path you trod.
What you thought you came for is only a husk.
The purpose breaks when it is filled with trust.
If it breaks, you had no purpose
or it is beyond the reach of the surface.
It is altered in fulfillment
as something less than brilliant.
There are other places that lie at the world's end
where fortune spins her fancy as a friend.
Her fine web supports the frame of space
in a cave by the sea, in a tree over a dark lake,
in a desert hole or any wasted corner place.
This is the nearest wisdom in place and time.
Sweep the webs out with the dirty grime.
If you came this way from anywhere
taking any route at any time with any care
It would always be the same fare.
You would have to put off your prior sense of form and motion.
You are not here to verify the formula for a potion.
You are here to instruct yourself with an informed curiosity
where prayer has been made valid with the conscience of humble velocity.
Prayer is more than the order of words for recitation.
It is the conscious occupation of the praying mind suspended in deliberation
for the sound of the voice praying for the right amount of celebration.
What the dead did not speak when living
can be told through the experience you are winning.
The communication of the dead is spoken
with fire from beyond the form that has been broken.
The intersection of the timeless moment
with nowhere and now is where you are most potent.
Never and always.
We give chase to the fallen case.
Darkness enters the face of the lily at night.
It closes around itself hiding inner beauty from sight.
The purse of nectar, pollen and fragrance
stand in the garden as the content for future grace.
Insects and worms turn the fertility of earth
that plants may grow strong in verse.
The common notion of the rule by the majority
fights for power with violence in the competition for authority.
The rending pain of re-enactment
of all that had been done to patent enchantment
despite the shame of things done to others' harm
which had been taken for virtue with charm
found approval as the tool for fools
to stain honor as the rule for school.
You were most cursed among all the creatures.
Your face was disgraced with distorted features.
The temple for likeness was used to store explosives.
The house for the spirit was stripped to feed violent motions.
The plague hit town after the royals were defeated.
More death was added to the trolling toll of the conceited.
Deathly hallows are bred into the race
with the blow that strikes the face
with the hemorrhage of pain and breath
to trill the grinding fear of death
as a curse for all that wastes
time as cohesive as paste
in conscious haste.
There is a cure inside the house.
Life is found in love of spouse
and offspring that rephrase the same
in and outside the ghost as the host for the frame.
Whoever does the will of the divine
finds a place in relation to mine.
The elegance of luck
is the truck that gives us pluck.
The greenhouse and the farmer's field
produce freshness as their yield.
This freshness is both rare and common.
It keeps energy from being lost or forgotten.
When I left my body on a distant shore
my concern for speech was impelled to soar.
Language insisted on purity in the dialect of the tribe.
Communication urged mind to subscribe to parsing by the scribe.
The gifts reserved for the age disclosed

The Dragon
The Gate of Ishtar
The mythical Dragon of Marduk is depicted in brick with a scaly body, serpent's head, viper's horns, the front feet of a feline, hind feet of a bird and a scorpion's tail. It was sacred to the god Marduk, the principal deity for Babylon.
The striding dragon was a portion of the decoration for one of the gates of the city of Babylon. King Nebuchadnezzar appears in the Bible as the despoiler of Jerusalem (Kings II 24:10-16, 25:8-15). He had the monumental entrance gate ornamented and dedicated to Ishtar, the goddess of love and war.
The processional street leading to it had scores of pacing glazed brick animals. There were alternating tiers of Marduk's dragons and the bulls of the weather god Adad on the gate. The street was lined with the lions of Ishtar. All of this brilliant decoration was designed to create a ceremonial entrance for the king in religious procession on the most important day of the New Year's Festival.

Mon Repos is a villa on the island of Corfu. Corfu is located off the most northwestern part of the Greek coast.
The villa was built as a summer residence for the British Lord High Commissioner of the United States of the Ionian Islands, Frederick Adam, and his second wife, Diamantina 'Nina' Palatino, in 1828–1831. Adam was called to serve in India in 1832.
The villa housed a school of fine arts in 1833. The park was open to the public in 1834. The villa was rarely used as a residence for the later British governors. Empress Elisabeth of Austria visited the island in 1863. She had the Achilleion Palace built later.
King George I of the Hellenes renamed the villa Mon Repos when it was granted to him as a summer residence after the union with Greece in 1864. The royal family used it as a summer residence up until King Constantine II fled the country in 1967.

Many Jews left the land of Israel to go to the "Eternal City" (Rome) in the second century BCE under the leadership of Judah Maccabeus. It was not until the Romans destroyed the second temple in Jerusalem [70 CE] that the Jewish/Roman alliance was broken and many Jews were forced into slavery.
Over a thousand Jews were transported to Rome to be used as work hands to help build the Coliseum. This image of history was frozen in time. It will be remembered by those who view the Arch of Titus. The Roman act was etched in stone.
When California was admitted to the Union in 1850, The U.S. Census recorded that there were eight Jews living in Los Angeles.
Joseph Newmark, a lay rabbi, arrived in of Los Angeles and helped found the Hebrew Benevolent Society for the evolving Jewish community, after organizing congregations in New York and St. Louis in 1854.

Basingstoke is located in Hampshire. The county is on the southern shore of England. The first recorded historical event was the victory gained by Æthelred of Wessex and Alfred the Great over the Danes in 871. The town saw a savage battle between Edward the Elder, Alfred's only son, and his cousin Æthelwald again in 904.
The town played host to a large number of Parliamentarians in the siege of Basing House during the Civil War. St. Michael's Church was damaged while being used as a store for explosives. Lead was stripped from the roof of the chapel of the Holy Ghost. It was left to ruin.

The first water route across Lake Michigan between St. Joseph and Chicago began as a mail route in 1825. Service was sporadic until 1842 when Samuel and Eber Ward began a permanent service. That lasted eleven years. Service was provided primarily by owner-operated boats before the rise of large ship companies on Lake Michigan. Permanent and larger operations began operating out of the ports with the rise in shipping in Benton Harbor and the rise in tourism in St. Joseph.

Chiba became the political, economic and cultural capital of the Chiba Prefecture after the Meiji Restoration in 1868 and the advent of the railroad in Japan. The word "Meiji" means "enlightened rule." The goal was to combine "modern advances" with traditional "eastern" values. Numerous small villages and towns were merged into the previous town. The process continues until 1944. Land reclamation added to the area of the city.
The Libation Bearers
Aeschylus
HP: The Deathly Hallows
Deathly hallows are bred into the race
with the grinding scream of death
and the blow that strikes the face
with the hemorrhage of pain and breath
as a curse for all that wastes.
There is a cure inside the house
but not outside the ghost of frame.
Life is found in love of spouse
and the offspring that rephrase the same.
Dark gods dwell beneath the plants that sprout.
Hear this you powers that lie beneath the ground.
Answer our call. Send your help to the sound
to bless our children with triumph now.

My Voice
私の声を聞く
Watashi no koe o kiku

Jeremiah called for help
from the depths of the well.
Jonah cried to be delivered in the tale
about his confinement in the belly of the whale.
This can be taken to mean
that he was trapped where he couldn't be heard or seen.
I have called to be saved out of the depths.
My cries have had the length of my breath.
I hope to see the sea again,
to see the lonely ocean and sky as friend.
I love it when there is a grey mist on the sea’s face.
The sky and water grace the trace of space for the next interface.
All I'll need is a sturdy ship, a star to steer by eye,
a stern to turn, the wind’s song and a sail to make time.
She will sing beyond the prowess of the prow for me.
The water will have never formed a voice so keen
as the genius she will bring to be heard, seen and believed.
She is the whole body of the bonnie boat.
Her sails flap and flutter like an empty overcoat
in between the tracks of the tacks against the wind as she is wrote.
What bolt of cloth has made you mine?
How dare you hold the wind in time?
She is formed by the waves of the ocean.
The smooth cliffs stand tall like an act of devotion.
The mermaids shaped them as a monument
to the heart of the sailors who gave beyond the continent.
They had died when predatory winds had gathered clouds
like lions to watch the water act as a burial shroud.
The teeth of the beast tore open the existence of soul.
She flew out to meet the stars so other sailors would find their way home.
Her mimic motion made a constant cry
for a course that was, yet is not mine.
It was not even ours although we understood
the inhuman purpose of the veritable ocean as good.
It told us to not lose heart or waste away.
Our nature will be renewed each day.
This fearful trip is nearly done.
The prize we sought has been won.
The ship has weathered every rack.
The seagulls cheer. The grackles grack.
The port is near.
The bells clear the pier.
The people rejoice in their own business.
The steady keel formed the feel for the vessel as your witness.
An oyster lives in the boundless space within his shell.
Alone, unseen, protected, limited in motion by ocean swells,
he sleeps behind the sheltering rock
to roll with wakeful moments for taking stock without shock
the told toll of the ebb and flow of the infinite deep as his clock
to produce a pearl as lovely as the music of Bach.
The turning tide will flood to its height
but the oyster's being lives with insight
tied to the narrow shell of limited fight
as the shining sign of calm delight.
I was able to go to the ocean without drowning in it,
because I was balanced like a vessel just launched with a waterline fit.
That lasted only for a while. When we moved, I rolled it up again
to store it in the shed behind our house until after the next bend
of the visual plane
into a hurricane.
I have memories of buying a piece of the beautiful ocean
in a market with a ceiling of blue sky from the man selling the notion of motion
by spreading it out like a carpet and rolling it up to make the promotion
without commotion like a landscape seen in an afternoon nap as an omen
of ambrosian devotion pondering the dark dank stratagem of the ocean's motion.
Who beheld the figure of cloud bloom in the thick marine
like a silent boom that emerged from the unseen?
Like what bloom? Like a little purple plumbago horn in tune
or a white jasmine star for the green leaves to adore as adorned in June?
These were shaken off from the loosed girdles in the spangling must
of the windblown trust in the global earthen thrust.
C'etait avant ma foi, bon chance divine.
Get a nonchalant detente to ease the scene
for the automated teller machine.
Mon repos in royalty has been so lean.
The nakedness would rise and suddenly turn
the bluest back track for sea-clouds above the great green urn.
Nakedness became the broadest of pentagram blooms
for the mild mannered mallows that the sun consumed.
The eagle soars high, wild and free
with an elegance and grace that is wonderful to see,
hovering with majesty in the summer breeze,
floating so gently with such perfect ease,
as graceful as the air in the line of sight,
there's nothing quite as regal as an eagle in flight.
When man flies,
he assaults the sky.
He aims to claim the air as honest
to repay the good you gave as promised.
Human presence longs to dance with the wind
to touch the mountain top fringe
and sail over the canyon rims
before climbing to see starlight in day as dim.
The reach is for heaven.
Hope for the future is our leaven.
We seek to reach all that we can be in being.
We are not limited to what has been as all that can be seen in seeing.
A flash of silver slants through the skies.
The roar provides speed as the jet flies.
Dizziness lends ecstasy to the eyes.
I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
to dance in the sky with mirth
in sun split clouds that give birth
to soaring turns that hide the craft's girth.
I’ve chased the shouting wind as new
through footless halls of air in burning blue.
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with grace.
Spirit leapt from the bourn in time and space.
I hoped to see my Pilot face to face
through the atmosphere which I displaced.
The beauty of brothers in the celestial line appears.
Love builds a stately house for fortune to rear.
If you were to come to this house of prayer
like the broken Saul seeking a soothsayer;
if you were to come after seeing the ugly toad,
it would be the same when you leave the road.
Turn behind the pig-sty to the dull facade.
Pass the tombstone on the path you trod.
What you thought you came for is only a husk.
The purpose breaks when it is filled with trust.
If it breaks, you had no purpose
or it is beyond the reach of the surface.
It is altered in fulfillment
as something less than brilliant.
There are other places that lie at the world's end
where fortune spins her fancy as a friend.
Her fine web supports the frame of space
in a cave by the sea, in a tree over a dark lake,
in a desert hole or any wasted corner place.
This is the nearest wisdom in place and time.
Sweep the webs out with the dirty grime.
If you came this way from anywhere
taking any route at any time with any care
It would always be the same fare.
You would have to put off your prior sense of form and motion.
You are not here to verify the formula for a potion.
You are here to instruct yourself with an informed curiosity
where prayer has been made valid with the conscience of humble velocity.
Prayer is more than the order of words for recitation.
It is the conscious occupation of the praying mind suspended in deliberation
for the sound of the voice praying for the right amount of celebration.
What the dead did not speak when living
can be told through the experience you are winning.
The communication of the dead is spoken
with fire from beyond the form that has been broken.
The intersection of the timeless moment
with nowhere and now is where you are most potent.
Never and always.
We give chase to the fallen case.
Darkness enters the face of the lily at night.
It closes around itself hiding inner beauty from sight.
The purse of nectar, pollen and fragrance
stand in the garden as the content for future grace.
Insects and worms turn the fertility of earth
that plants may grow strong in verse.
The common notion of the rule by the majority
fights for power with violence in the competition for authority.
The rending pain of re-enactment
of all that had been done to patent enchantment
despite the shame of things done to others' harm
which had been taken for virtue with charm
found approval as the tool for fools
to stain honor as the rule for school.
You were most cursed among all the creatures.
Your face was disgraced with distorted features.
The temple for likeness was used to store explosives.
The house for the spirit was stripped to feed violent motions.
The plague hit town after the royals were defeated.
More death was added to the trolling toll of the conceited.
Deathly hallows are bred into the race
with the blow that strikes the face
with the hemorrhage of pain and breath
to trill the grinding fear of death
as a curse for all that wastes
time as cohesive as paste
in conscious haste.
There is a cure inside the house.
Life is found in love of spouse
and offspring that rephrase the same
in and outside the ghost as the host for the frame.
Whoever does the will of the divine
finds a place in relation to mine.
The elegance of luck
is the truck that gives us pluck.
The greenhouse and the farmer's field
produce freshness as their yield.
This freshness is both rare and common.
It keeps energy from being lost or forgotten.
When I left my body on a distant shore
my concern for speech was impelled to soar.
Language insisted on purity in the dialect of the tribe.
Communication urged mind to subscribe to parsing by the scribe.
The gifts reserved for the age disclosed
a crown upon the sage imposed.
The hormonal call for unity in marriage
included provision for separate lives, not disparaged.
The orchid blooms when the time is right.
The pleasure moves from the stem to bud to bloom in sight.
The pistil, stamen and pollen are a jewel from earth.
A cup of dirt with dampness from water gave the plant birth.
There at the center of the erotic test
lies the breath of life near the specter of death.
When pleasure in production fashions

The word "Meiji" means "enlightened rule." The goal was to combine "modern advances" with traditional "eastern" values. Numerous small villages and towns were merged into the previous town. The process continues until 1944. Land reclamation added to the area of the city.
The Libation Bearers
Aeschylus
HP: The Deathly Hallows
Deathly hallows are bred into the race
with the grinding scream of death
and the blow that strikes the face
with the hemorrhage of pain and breath
as a curse for all that wastes.
There is a cure inside the house
but not outside the ghost of frame.
Life is found in love of spouse
and the offspring that rephrase the same.
Dark gods dwell beneath the plants that sprout.
Hear this you powers that lie beneath the ground.
Answer our call. Send your help to the sound
to bless our children with triumph now.

Work
Sara Bareilles
Brave
Work
to Wait
待機する
Taiki suru
ps27
Leadership lets courage
find the atmosphere to flourish.
Responsibility illuminates my existence.
Patient determination guides my persistence.
Ownership is the strength of my life.
Relaxation reduces strife.
When the violent came to destroy my flesh
it was they who stumbled and fell to their death.
Should an army encamp against me
my heart will be as brave as it can be.
Should a war arise against me
I will defend the right to be.
I have asked one thing from Leadership.
One thing has been my desire for this life’s trip.
I pray to stay in the house of divine love
with the peace that comes with silence from above
to seek the beauty of justice with the fortune of merit
that reaches beyond that which I was given to inherit.
Safety will be given by the security of shelter.
Should I find safety in the secrecy of my endeavor,
I will be lifted up to stand on the rock of joy in good weather.
Even now my head is lifted.
The paradigm has shifted.
This love has been gifted.
I will offer an oblation with sounds of great gladness.
I will sing to bring joy out of sadness.
Listen to my voice when I call.
Help me to rise when I fall.
You speak in my heart, "Seek my face."
I will seek to find the right place.
Please don't hide from me
or side with some enemy.
You have been my helper.
Do not forsake our being together.
Though an intimate relation may forsake me
faith with love will save our integrity.
Show me your revelation.
Let the level path be an elevation.
Don't deliver me to my adversary.
Story telling has made facts imaginary.
Malice has become reactionary.
Those who fear with respect for the authority
of the majority or minority make love the priority.
Constancy points change to align with design.
The law of large numbers is probability's vine.
Be prepared to take action. Be ready to go.
Be ready to receive the faces that you know.
If I had not believed in the existence of goodness
I would have worked to build a world that withstood less.
Wait for the pleasure that is divine.
Your heart will be strengthened by that which so aligns.

Revere
Amanda Righetti:
"Colony"
Revere
Life
リヴィア生活
Rivu~ia seikatsu
ps116
Revere life.
It will end your strife.
I found help when I needed it.
I had to intercede for it.
The cords of death had entangled me.
The grip of the grave grabbed at what I could see.
Sorrow drove sadness to the threshold of pain.
Pain prompted panic. Thought seemed like it was vain.
Then I cried for help, “What do I have to do to find safety?”
Safety gained value as something precious to me.
I felt desperate need. My mind cried for direction.
My senses sharpened. Sight, sound and touch were used for detection.
I found what I needed before the moment of crisis.
Need helped me find how to be decisive.
I did what needed to be done.
It wasn't pretty, but it saved life for fun.
The success of salvation is gracious.
It reveals health and safety as values for stasis.
Nothing else is quite so profound.
It is an experience that forms common ground.
Defense is granted to the watchful.
Testing conception provides the best consul.
I fell very low, but I was helped.
The answer was shown with stealth
for my health.
It is time to rest.
Stress from the test
has taken its toll.
It has worn out my torn soul.
I was rescued from death.
I appreciate life for what's best.
My eyes shed no tears.
I overcame all my fears.
My feet did not stumble,
but I have been left feeling humble.
I will walk in the presence
of the divine essence
in the land of the living.
Design that I find is worth what is found in the giving.
I had faith even when I had been brought low.
I had no where to turn; no where to go
Even when I said, “No one can be trusted”
I found that ground that could not be busted.
It was like a precious metal that has never rusted.
How will I repay my debt?
I will not wallow in regret.
I will not fuss and fret.
The good things that have been done for me
were given with grace, but they were not entirely free.
I will lift up the cup of salvation and hold it high.
I will sing with my voice; let it soar to the sky.
I will live with reverence for life as the rule of law.
It is respect for human rights that hammers the saw.
Precious in the sight of the divine Light
is the death of those who defend rights.
They live good lives
for resurrected life.
I am a defender of rights.
I have been resurrected as a good life
by the experience that brought me near death.
Death became a giver of appreciation for what is best.
I tasted a glimpse of the infinite abyss.
I saw that I could not taste what I could not kiss.
It was black and gray with white lights.
The highest of heights showed no measurable sight.
I have been freed from the world of discrimination.
The lack of equity has implicated the nation
among nations.
I will offer thanksgiving as my sacrifice.
I will give thanks to the Giver of life.
I will give reasons for reason
with respect for due season
to benefit people in the presence
of the divine essence.
I will be a subject
in the assembly in public
in the city of peace
that works for its ease
in the laughter of the daughter
by the water.
Yea Yah!
116 Dilexi, quoniam
1 I love the Lord, because he has heard the voice of
my supplication, *
because he has inclined his ear to me whenever
I called upon him.
2 The cords of death entangled me;
the grip of the grave took hold of me; *
I came to grief and sorrow.
3 Then I called upon the Name of the Lord: *
"O Lord, I pray you, save my life."
4 Gracious is the Lord and righteous; *
our God is full of compassion.
5 The Lord watches over the innocent; *
I was brought very low, and he helped me.
6 Turn again to your rest, O my soul. *
for the Lord has treated you well.
7 For you have rescued my life from death, *
my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.
8 I will walk in the presence of the Lord *
in the land of the living.
9 I believed, even when I said,
"I have been brought very low." *
In my distress I said, "No one can be trusted."
10 How shall I repay the Lord *
for all the good things he has done for me?
11 I will lift up the cup of salvation *
and call upon the Name of the Lord.
12 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord *
in the presence of all his people.
13 Precious in the sight of the Lord *
is the death of his servants.
14 O Lord, I am your servant; *
I am your servant and the child of your handmaid;
you have freed me from my bonds.
15 I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving *
and call upon the Name of the Lord.
16 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord *
in the presence of all his people,
17 In the courts of the Lord's house, *
in the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!
