On the other hand...

Initially I was going to say "Boy, I think I am going to throw a rock at the face of every smug Christian minister I went to school with that makes 'clever' mocking remarks about other traditions, religions and beliefs."

Then I realized the hypocrisy of such a thought.

Then I thought: "Five bucks to anyone who pegs me in the face with a rock every time I make a hate filled hypocritically complaining remark about someone else."

Then I realized I wouldn't have a face left...along with just having embodied the self flagellating of Catholicism I despise.

So instead...prayerful silence.

In the Sounds of Your Mind

Indeed the frailties of the heart are many
and how few is its strength,
and of these few
remain but faith, hope and love
but may it be known
that through fiery resolve
it may be said
that these will endure.
These can endure
and that these must endure.
Now and until we wade
through the ebbing tides of eternity.

And may it not be said
you were never missed
oh dearest muse,
kindling of the flames
that are sparked here in the heart.
Breaking both rhyme and meter
as you speak plain and true.
