Draw

Oda Sakura
Essence of Cherry Blossom
Biography

Draw
Dawn
夜明けを描く
Yoake o kaku
ps.19

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

John 2:13
The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
3.4.18

"The dwarf planet Ceres, the Full Moon, and the return of Mercury and Venus, all in the sky this week."

Mercury, Venus
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn
Ceres - Fertility

"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."

Roar


Others,
The story about Jacob being renamed as Israel happens in Genesis 35:10, but when he blesses his sons it is called the song of Jacob's blessing.

http://www.gcfweb.org/institute/genesis/week11.php

Songs are generally regarded as the most ancient of texts. Songs preceded the written tradition. They stand out as the most authentic historic markers. Thus, the story about his being renamed as Israel is a redaction from a different time. It was edited into the story of Jacob as a testimony to the importance of Israel in the legacy of Judah (Gen.38), a son of Jacob.
Reading the bible is different from reading most other texts. It is a community composition about faith in God that includes a variety of literary and journalistic styles. Unraveling that which actually happened in history is a mystery that has distinct clues. These clues are investigated in biblical source theory.

Bible history is a mystery that can help us to understand the history of the Middle East in relation to that of the world. It is work that has contributed to the improvement of society. Please show respect.
=====================

The name Judah means “Praise,” but it is related to word for Lion. He is called a lion’s whelp in Gen.49:9.
http://bible.cc/genesis/49-9.htm The name “Assad” means “Lion.” Predators in nature act as a team. There is a hierarchy. They kill to eat, but if they fight it is for territory or status. It is not to kill each other.

Assad has NOT been treating non-Alawites with respect in Syria. He has been killing people, mostly Sunnis, for protesting his policies. This is not a reflection of nature’s way. It is the way of authoritarian regimes. If people disagree with government policy, they are shot, tortured or put in jail indefinitely. It is tyranny. It is not representative of government for the people. It is a projection of dictatorship for industry profit. The Assad family has been in power ‘over’ the people of Syria for over forty years.
His position is especially untenable, because it is the tyranny of minority over the majority of people. His regime will fall. It is a matter of time.

King Herod was the ruler of Judea when Jesus was born. Another Herod was Petrarch of Galilee during his ministry. Herod translates as Hero. Herod however was not a hero.
Hero
Jhn6, Ps145


The Hero wasn’t trusted in the land of praise.
He was a servant of empire. Empire
had brought the cross as an instrument
of torture and death. Hero was called
a baby killer to warn others
of his affinity with tyranny.
Hero was not heroic.
He was a bully
with an army.
Empire had renamed the Circle Sea,
the sea of the Crown. When people
were traveling to the city of peace
to celebrate the triumph
of sanitation over plague, they
stopped to listen to the One who
saves from destruction.


The Anointed was teaching his students
to have faith in providence that
is given through provisions for people.
He asked them how they were
going to feed the people.

The student thought of provision
with personal experience. He did not
consider that the people had brought
food and drink for themselves. A boy
had been sent with food as an offering
for the service of teaching.
Christ blessed what had been given
in front of all to show that it was time to eat.
The people pulled out their supply of food
and shared the blessing.


The energy of your works praises you LORD.
We bless you for your provisions.
Food and drink give us energy to work.

May the Spirit be rooted through you
and grounded in hope.
What is the length, depth
and height of faith?
Let it be filled with
the fullness of God.
The students ate with their teacher.
They were satisfied. They were told
to collect fragments
of that which was left over from
the crowd. They gathered a supply
that was sufficient for their needs.


The people said, “This is the prophet
who was predicted to come into the world.
Let Providence lead us and keep us in peace.”
When the One who saves
suspected that they wanted
to use him to replace the Hero
he withdrew to the mountain.

Your people make known
the glory of your work.
They speak of your power.


Your peace is everlasting.
Your government represents
liberty and justice for all.
You are faithful in your words
and trustworthy in your deeds.
You uphold those who need to be upheld.
You lift up those who have fallen.
The eyes of all look to you for sustenance.
You give food in due season.


You open wide your hand
and satisfy the needs of the living.
You do the right thing
and put love into what you do.
The students began to doubt
that they could weather a storm
without the One who saves.
Their memory of his words and presence
calmed the turbulence of anxiety.


They made it to the other side
of the circle despite the storm.
======================

The existence of good will is often enough. It takes time to build consensus. It takes good will to build consensus that is beneficial for the people.
There are times when good intent however is not enough. The word “good” is attached to an action that is known to be harmful to trust. Consider the case of the married man who uses his marriage as a front for investment in the industry of war and uses the darkness of night to frequent a whore house.

The song sings,
“I know you didn’t mean it when you counted to ten.
You’ve got your reputation and your good intent.”

“Out to feed the habit when you’ve sowed that seed; nothing made you feel out of the ordinary. But the air turned somber and the night took heed, took you on the waltz of hypocrisy.”
A hungry lion is on the prowl. Watch the news for the push for war. Stand opposed.
