ps126
When leadership restored fortune,
we were like those who received our portion.
We felt like those who dream while still awake.
There was the distinct feeling that this fortune wasn't fake.
Our mouth was filled with laughter.
It was like starting again after a climatic chapter.
The rider and the fighter were twins in the sky.
They fought for the standard to know how and why.
They released many captives from the burden of plight.
The captives were freed with the capacity for flight.
Courage watched leadership rise with his word.
Reason was challenged to struggle with the absurd.
The hunter drank in the storm faint though it had been.
He stalked the prey that he had yet to win.
The rider rested with his horse
in the investigation of the state of the forest.
Wildness preceded the primitive me.
Food and water have been granted to proceed.
Our tongues lifted sound above vocal cords.
Our joy was profound. Our bliss was adored.
Restore fortune with the cosmic sorter for order.
Grow us flowers plentiful as stars in the heavenly quarters.
Give us fertility instead of ashes.
Let water pour down while the lightening crashes.
Let oil be squeezed from olives or vegetables.
Let want be appeased, not made miserable.
Let the mantle of praise lift up the weakness of spirit.
Feel the energy of love before you hear or go near it.
Augurs of chance read spirits instead of birds.
Test your statements for the truth of the words.
Righteousness is based on faith with grace.
Redemption with Christ places destiny over fate.
Great things have been done for us in the strength of this time.
The length of light grows as sublimely prime.
Those who managed labor throughout the last year
made a memory to transcend the feeling of fear.
Celebrate the presence of the essential essence.
Gratitude for service beats sacrifice as penance.
Those who sowed seed with the toil of their tears
will reap joy with the music of love in the heavenly spheres.
The deluge washed the mass of seashells.
Polish was added to the shine of cells
and bells.
Those who went weeping to water their seeds
will return with shoulders of sheaves to fulfill basic needs.
This voice is like that of the cry in the darkness
unbroken in facing the strength of the starkness.
Restore our fortune. Transform the harm of the past.
Let us have our portion. Give us confidence to last.
Making continual reparation for misdeeds from the past isn't a policy that will make fortune last. Liberals made the public pay for legal reform, then they make us pay for damage caused by the storm from the reform.

Psalm 126
In convertendo
1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, *
then were we like those who dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, *
and our tongue with shouts of joy.
3 Then they said among the nations, *
"The Lord has done great things for them."
4 The Lord has done great things for us, *
and we are glad indeed.
5 Restore our fortunes, O Lord, *
like the watercourses of the Negev.
6 Those who sowed with tears *
will reap with songs of joy.
7 Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed, *
will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.

Isa. 43:20
The wild animals will honor me.
The jackals and ostriches will be grateful
for I give water in the wilderness;
rivers in the desert
to give drink to my chosen.

Wildness preceded the primitive me.
Food and water have been granted to proceed.

Phil.3:8
I have suffered the loss of things in order to gain Christ
not having a righteousness of my own, but one that comes through faith,
the righteousness from God based on faith.

Redemption with Christ places destiny over fate.

Gemini - twins
Taurus- bull
Orion - hunter
Mars - courage
Jupiter - leadership
Mercury - reason
Venus- beauty
Castor - rider
Pollux - fighter
Neptune - water, storm
Gemini is Latin for "twins," and it is associated with the twins Castor and Pollux in Greek mythology.
https://www.greekmythology.com/Myths/Zodiac/Gemini/gemini.html
The twins were Castor and Polydeuces (Pollux). They were known as the Dioscuri. Their sisters were Helen and Clytemnestra. They were the sons of Leda, Zeus and Tyndareus. Castor and Pollux were half-brothers.
Leda was married to King Tyndareus of Sparta. She was also seduced by Zeus, so the father's of both children were uncertain. The Discouri were inseperable and grew closer with age.
Castor was a famous horse tamer and Pollux, a superb boxer. When Castor was killed during a battle, Pollux was inconsolable and gave up his own life to be with his brother. Jupiter rewarded their love by placing their images among the stars. They shine side by side.
Majesty with Mercy

Tikhon of Moscow
b. January 31, 1865, Klin, Russia
d. April 7, 1925, Moscow, Russia
Klin
Russian Empire
Alexander II (1818-1881) was the Emperor of Russia from 2 March 1855 until his assassination on 13 March 1881. He was also the King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Finland. He emancipated the serfs in 1861. It was the first and most important of his reforms. The Emancipation Edict abolished serfdom throughout the Russian Empire.
There was an uprising in Poland in 1863. The land was stripped of its constitution and incorporated into Russia.
Alexander sold Alaska to the United States in 1867. He was afraid that the territory would fall into British hands in the event of another war.
Klin means 'wedge.' One of the towns by that name was located in the Toropets District of the Pskov Governate. Klin is located to the west of Moscow by about 85 km (55 mi.). It is south of St. Petersburg by about the same amount of distance. It is part of a basin that drains to the Baltic Sea.
Tikhon of Moscow
Tikhon was born as Vasily Ivanovich Bellavin in Klin, Toropets, Pskov of the Russian Empire on 31 January 1865.
Vasily studied at the Pskov Theological Seminary from 1878 to 1883. He graduated from the St. Petersburg Theological Academy as a layman at the age of 23 in 1888. He returned to the Pskov Seminary as an instructor of Moral and Dogmatic Theology.
He took monastic vows and was given the name Tikhon in honor of St. Tikhon of Zadonsk at the age of 26 in 1891. Tikhon was consecrated Bishop of Lublin on October 19, 1897. Bishop Tikhon was made Bishop of the Aleutians and Alaska on September 14, 1898. This made him the head of the Russian Orthodox Church in America.
He reorganized the diocese and changed its name from "Diocese of the Aleutians and Alaska" to "Diocese of the Aleutians and North America" in 1900. The peripatetic bishop visited emerging Orthodox emigrant communities in various American cities, including New York City, Chicago and the coal and steel-making cities in Pennsylvania and Ohio. While living in the United States Archbishop Tikhon was made a citizen.
He returned to Russia in 1907 and was appointed Bishop of Yaroslavl. He was transferred to Vilnius, Lithuania on December 22, 1913.
He was elected the ruling bishop of Moscow by the Diocesan Congress of clergy and laity on June 21, 1917. Archbishop Tikhon was raised to the dignity of Metropolitan of Moscow on August 15, 1917.
An election on November 5 of the same year named him as one of the three candidates for the Patriarchate. Metropolitan Vladimir of Kiev announced that Metropolitan Tikhon had been selected for the position after a drawing of lots as the new Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church.
The Patriarch was widely seen as anti-Bolshevik during the Russian Civil War. Many members of Orthodox clergy were jailed or executed by the new regime. The 'prosecution' of clergy identified the socialist republic as anti-religious. Tikhon openly condemned the killing of the tsar's family in 1918 and protested the violent attacks by the Bolsheviks on the Church.
The Patriarch was accused of being a saboteur by the Communist government after the establishment of the USSR. He was imprisoned from April 1922 until June 1923 in Donskoy Monastery.
His public protest against nationalization of the property of the Church was used to incriminate him of criminal conduct. This persecution caused international resonance and was a subject of several letters to the Soviet government.
Patriarch Tikhon issued several messages to the believers under pressure in which he stated that he is "no longer an enemy to the Soviet power." He continued to enjoy the trust of the Orthodox community in Russia despite his declaration of loyalty to the Soviets.
The Patriarch fell ill and was hospitalized in 1924. He served his last Divine Liturgy on 5 April 1925. He died two days later.
He was glorified a saint by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1989. This canonisation process is generally considered an example of the thaw in Church-Soviet relations in the Glasnost era. Tikhon's relics are kept at the Donskoy Monastery of Moscow.

Thomas Hill Green
b. April 7, 1836, Birkin, United Kingdom
d. March 1886, Oxford, UK
Birkin
Birkin is a village in the south of North Yorkshire. The population was estimated at 141 people in the 2011 census. The name was recorded in the Domesday book as 'Birchinge.' This and the present name indicate that the village was built in an area wooded with birch trees.
It is located about 290 km (180 miles) north of London. It is about 145 km (90 miles) northeast of Liverpool. It is about 48 km (30 miles) southwest of York.
A Royal Commission into the Poor Law recommended changes to the system of parish poor relief in 1832. Many of its recommendations were incorporated into the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834. This statute maintained outdoor relief (relief given outside a workhouse), but led to more central control of the system.
St Mary's Church is located at the southern end of Birkin and dates from around 1150. Thomas Hill Green's father was the rector of St Mary's in the 1830's.
Thomas Hill Green
Thomas Hill Green was born in Birkin on 7 April 1836. Thomas was brought up by a nanny following the death of his mother when he was only a year old together with his sisters and three brothers. He was home schooled until the age of 14. He entered the Rugby School and remained for 5 years.
Green went to Balliol College, Oxford in 1855. He came under the influence of Benjamin Jowett. Jowett had been one of the first to bring a set of Hegel's writings to England. It was through him that Green became enraptured by idealism.
He found a justification for his instinctive egalitarianism in Hegel. He became firm friends with other students who were sympathetic to his political radicalism, such as AV Dicey, John Nichol and Edward Caird. Idealism led him away from the skepticism of Locke expressed by Berkeley.
He was elected fellow in 1860. He began a life of teaching in the university. First he was a college tutor. He was Whyte's Professor of Moral Philosophy from 1878 until his death.
The lectures he delivered as professor formed the substance of his two most important works. The Prolegomena to Ethics and the Lectures on the Principles of Political Obligation were published posthumously, but they serve as a basis for conjecture as to what he taught.
He criticized the limitations of natural history in empiricism of Hume with the theory of evolution in the Prolegomena to Ethics.
He wrote in the Natural Science of Morals (s.5) "It is no wonder, therefore, that the evolutionists of our day should claim to have given a wholly new character to ethical enquiries. In Hume’s time a philosopher who denied the innateness of moral sentiments, and held that they must have a natural history, had only the limits of the individual life within which to trace this history. These limits did not give room enough for even a plausible derivation of moral interests from animal wants...Thus it would seem that for the barren speculation of the old metaphysical ethics we should seek a substitute in a scientific Culturgeschichte; in a natural history of man conducted on the same method as an enquiry into any other form of life which cannot be reduced to the operation of strictly mechanical laws."
The Principles of Political Obligation was written to subordinate the citizen to the state.
He wrote, "I have entitled the subject of the course 'political obligation.' I mean that term to include both the obligation of the subject to the sovereign, of the citizen towards the state and the obligations of individuals to each other as enforced by a political superior."
Green was an advocate for temperance. He referred to the work of Spinoza, Hobbes, Locke and Rosseau, but he came down in favor of state limitation of the citizen's conscience. He held that the state should foster and protect the social, political and economic environments in which individuals will have the best chance of acting according to conscience.
He stated time and again that the state could legitimately curtail the individual's freedom to accept the slavery of alcoholism. This became a prohibitive action in the case of the Temperance movement.
This was an oppressive definition of the concept of sovereignty. No one wants to endorse alcoholism as a right, yet the prohibition of alcohol as a product for the market is preemptive in the prohibition of the disease.
Given the appointment of a special prosecutor by the House of Commons for the precipitation of profit from military action, it amounted to a perpetuation of Puritan aggression without the explicit endorsement of the Westminster Confession.
Green was involved in local politics for many years through the University, temperance societies and the local Oxford Liberal association.
He campaigned for the right to vote to be extended to all men living in boroughs even if they did not own real property during the passage of the Second Reform Act (1867). Green's position was more radical than that of most other Advanced Liberals, including William Ewart Gladstone.
The right to vote is an important civil liberty. The Public Schools Act of 1868 would remove public schools from any direct jurisdiction or responsibility of the Crown, established church, or government, establishing a board of governors for each school and granting them independence over their administration.
The Act led to development of the schools away from the traditional exclusively classics-based curriculum taught by clergymen to a somewhat broader scope of studies. This meant an opening for Hegelian idealism in evolution for Green. It was a legislative enactment that supported increased expenditure for the government to control the rights of the population. It was an endorsement to promote revolution through insurrection around the globe for liberals.
It was in the context of his Liberal Party activities that in 1881, Green gave what became one of his most famous statements of his liberal political philosophy, the "Lecture on Liberal Legislation and Freedom of Contract".
He presented an anti-capitalist perspective. He wrote, "we are right in refusing to ascribe the glory of freedom to a state in which the apparent elevation of the few is founded on the degradation of the many." He was also lecturing on religion, epistemology, ethics and political philosophy at the time.
Most of his major works were published posthumously, including his lay sermons on Faith and The Witness of God, the essay "On the Different Senses of 'Freedom' as Applied to Will and the Moral Progress of Man", Prolegomena to Ethics, Lectures on the Principles of Political Obligation and the "Lecture on Liberal Legislation and Freedom of Contract".
Green died of blood poisoning at 45. Approximately 2,000 local townspeople attended his funeral in addition to friends from his academic life.
