Life is a beauty thing
Praise God for every good thing
And all His people.
Every lil dappled dream
Came from our awesome King
I rest in You, Lord God.
Sanskrit is beautiful,
and so is Latin.
Lenguas antiguas son tan bonitas, and so are modern languages.

A LETTER TO MY ARTIST SISTER
Dear Greta Gerwig,





Let God
guide
our friendship



Do you think that people read
the plays of Ben Jonson?
His plays are easier to read at times
than the plays of Will Shakespeare.
Ben's plays are easier to read
than Chris Marlowe's plays also.
I love you, sister, so much.
I think about readability
with my plays and poetry.
I pray that they are easy to read actually, because then the experience of reading can be enjoyable. :)))
Many parts of Nora Ephron's screenplays are lovely to read in this way;
do you agree?

Vision
When I heard Elizabeth Gilbert speak on Ted Talks, I was so happy.
God loves us so much, sister.
So many Renaissance paintings
have beautiful renderings of light,
and I think about this word, meta, which means truly beyond.
God touches the painter and
the painting both.






Giovanni Pico della Mirandola
wrote about the dignity of man,
but it was not well to glorify
​
man, who has inside of him
the true Holy Spirit,
​
whom we glorify duly,
and who gives life
to man's whole person.





The quality of mercy
is not restraining.
Each human person
is endowed by our Creator
with human dignity.
Lord God, pour out
your mercy on us.
Each of us
is created in the image of God,
who dwells in a mystery and in
a community of three Persons,
in beautiful and harmonious
relationship.

COME LORD JESUS
DWELL IN EACH OF US
AND HELP US
BE OURSELVES
IN A COMMUNITY
OF LOVE





SO LOVED
WE NEED
CHARLES
SO MUCH

How did Ben Jonson
love his Jewish neighbor?
