Faith Requires Good Timing

faith almost requires serendipity to make it work,
whereas the temptation to error is persistent.

 Where humans usually go wrong 
is telling the difference between the two. 

The Unexplainable Explained

Believe in God.
Believe in irony.

Believe in both at once
and you may be more human
than you previously realised.

You are on the path to learn the humour
that makes absurdity seem like grace
and puts a positive grace into absurdity. 

Oblivion Means Oblivion

When we have done
doing over the planet
with our good intentions,
and want to give it a rest,
as if we might pass the test
of knowing what to for best
-then we will find out, too late,
that we always were the sixth extinction.

Rust Never Sleeps

And whether you are a straight or a hippy,
entropy is always quietly, but definitely, in control.
Entropy is our guide for the life to come...

Anonymous Messages

Just as when a noise is made in a forest
it might not have been made
if there is nobody there to hear it,
so when we leave messages
on phones that are never heard,

The Prerogative Of A Harlot

was how one British prime minister
described the desire of the proprietors
of some newspapers to report more freely
the deeds of the rich and powerful
to the downtrodden poor of the 1930's-
a poor who were partially downtrodden
by the press themselves-
as wealth went about serving itself.

The prerogative of a harlot
was freedom without responsibility,
surely something that the governments,
even now, preferred to keep for themselves.

to being the sort of person
you use to look up to and admire,
and privately yearn to be like,
then you can start to relax
-having to pretend has come to an end....
