checking out--
​the emperor’s clothes
flutter on the line


Alice
 
I must go,
she said, as she closed
the electric book.
Down is up and up is nowhere.
 
It is time,
she said, as she climbed down
from her wobbly throne.
It waits for no one.
 
I will look to the east,
she said, as she remembered
the line from the song,
for the sunrise.
 
One can never be lost when one looks for the sun…

down is up & black is white & the emperor has no clothes



"It will seem like all hell has broken loose - sun, moon, stars, earth, sea, in an uproar and everyone all over the world in a panic, the wind knocked out of them by the threat of doom, the powers-that-be quaking."
Luke 21:25 MSG




Are we there yet?

I don't know, but the signs are there.

What to do?

Nothing.

How long?

Don't know.

What then?


Look for the little man with the sign, like Waldo hidden in a crowd, He is there.


And when you find him you answer the question.


Who is this Jesus?  


Liar

Lunatic

Lord


Where do You put your X?

Thank you Shira,

I am glad that it blessed you. Today was a difficult writing day, but I pushed on and let the poetry , scripture, and photos speak. Sometimes less is better. And God always works with whatever my feeble little mind puts out there. His word never returns void...And His strength is made perfect in my weakness...Thanks for the comment!
