What if that which we wrote
would somehow come to life,
and chase us down, a billy goat
brandishing a Bowie knife
of the harsh reality
across whose border we have trod
in hubris-toned banality,
thinking that we honour God?
Our tales are for amusement,
told at the childrens’ table,
and if we lose this pure intent
and think that we are able
to match God’s vision face to face,
He’ll gently put us in our place.

It reminded me of the old claymation television shows we watched growing up.

Thanks Steve. That brought a smile. Cats are curious. Mine finds the simplest things wildly entertaining.

After the crazy driving of yesterday, this was a delightful laugh.

In high school typing class, yes I am that old, we used to make pictures with the typing keys. None of them ever did that. Lol
