Where There’s a Will … There’s a Way (II)

Leave a reply

Berlin Wall lights: Might NASA consider organizing waves of light to, our global solidarity … fave? http://a.msn.com/01/en-us/AA7c4f1 … #twitterfiction

Moving walls of light and reciprocal light shows from space; my suggestion
to NASA to celebrate global citizenship day … in #twitterfiction.

#Twitterfiction: Two-way light shows to and from space and Earth was my way
for NASA to celebrate a proposed … global citizenship … day.

#Twitterfiction: Light shows to and from space and Earth … my way,
in AN ATLAS, POETIC, for a globe’s celebration, of global citizenship day.

Alas, NASA didn’t respond; for there’s no such thing as global citizenship day.
But in #twitterfiction … where there’s a will … there’s a way.

Nonetheless, although there’s no such thing as global citizenship day,
in #twitterfiction, God willing, where there is will … there is a way.

On Using Twitter’s One Hundred Forty Characters to Pen … Rhyming Poetry

Leave a reply

Harder to write and to read than prose, but poetry expresses far more elegantly,
passionately and emotively than one may ever aspire to … prosaically.

A form of written expression … so seemingly … like lyrical hymn,
has been … historically … seemingly been … favored by Him.

To wit, the superlative verse of the great poets, amongst them,
Ovid, Emily, Robert … and the immortal … William.

Shakespeare’s reputation, amongst thoughtful (wo)men, is amongst the best
of the west. Along with the east’s Khalil Gibran, they are the best, of the best.

And so it has been that inspired by Him, Willy, Khalil, Ovid, Robert and Emily,
when one needs a passionate message … do it … poetically.

To that end, Twitter’s one hundred and forty character formula may usefully
construct verses … whether rhyming, or not … poetically.

#Twitterfiction: If, prior to an 83rd character, prospective tweeters bring to end
then a first line, then with a rhyme … you may … end.

Hedge your Bet … on Humanity

Leave a reply

To be sure, come what may … hedge your bet … on humanity. 1 Corinthians
14:33 (KJV) so states, “God is not
the author of confusion, but of peace.” In a mysterious morality play, wherein
all play bit parts, albeit ego, all … action stars … are not.

He already knows choices you’ll make … whenever; that’s a good news story
reprised for accomplished and novice sinners alike.
It’s redemptive to know that neither lifestyle, sexuality, nor actual nor imaginary
sin … keep Him, from you. Let’s all win then … alike.

Twitter, Tweet, Tweeted and Tweeting; All New Meanings and Re-tweeted, Coined; All to Waste, When … We’re Wasted.

After Greek, English is the world’s second lingua franca. Its vocabulary and easy
rhymes are at home in song … psalm … prose … or poetry.

The richest tongue by far (by word count) owes its extreme wealth due to heavy
borrowing from other tongues and the quirks of His timing … uncanny.

There are more English-speaking Chinese than Americans; and more Chinese
wits than Americans … perhaps … know a twit … from a tweet.

Tweet is commonly understood … but twit? Twits are taunts. To twit is to titter
or taunt. Hmm. Curiously, our host is Twitter … not Tweeter.

Why Twitter and not Tweeter, albeit, an intriguing riddle, isn’t the point. Rather,
it’s just that more people, than bluebirds, are tweeting … on Twitter.

Twitter filled ready made voids. That it did so with 140 rather than 150 characters;
seemingly genius …. After all … we’ve all gone … atwitter.

Twitter, tweet, tweeted and tweeting; all been given new meaning and re-tweeted,
coined. All to go … to waste … when we are … wasted.

Titters and taunts are tweeted and re-tweeted on Twitter quite mean-spiritedly;
better to be … a poetic writer … good-naturedly.

For global leaders in 2015, unemployment and rising income inequality may
top leaders’ concerns, a World Economic Forum (WEF) study said Friday.

The organization has drawn up a list of the top ten issues likely to preoccupy
leaders over the coming 12 to 18 months … nigh.

While many of the concerns listed have figured on previous WEF rankings,
the experts identified two new headaches … for decisions … pending.

One is rising geostrategic competition, for instance connected with ballooning
tensions between Russia and the West, in fourth place … ranking.

Lack of leadership, moved up from seventh to third; it’s a trend which of inaction
that impacts ” … all the other issues.” said WEF head Martina Larkin.

The Power of Love; the Love of Power

The power of love; the love of power; we here on Earth better understand the love
of illusory power … than we do … the surreally real … power of love.

He that is in Heaven … the Creator … the Alpha and the Omega is … all-loving …
all-powerful and … understandably … even for us … all-understanding.

He that is in Heaven … the Creator … the Alpha and the Omega is … author and
editor …. He authors … and edits … so that we might … better … understand.

For Brothers’ Keepers, What’s Good for the Goose, is Good for the Gander (II)

For brothers’ keepers,
piecemeal peace, is no answer;
but Mandela’s model may deliver
us from anarchy … in surreal, nonfiction … forever.

For brothers’ keepers,
piecemeal peace, is no answer;
but if what’s good for the goose, is good for the gander,
then why not a GLOBAL Truth and Reconciliation … consider?

For brothers’ keepers,
piecemeal peace, is no answer;
Mandela’s model delivered to us a power,
as difficult as it may be … to forgive and forget … and live … together.

For brothers’ keepers,
piecemeal peace, is no answer;
the reason, I gather, that we shan’t get it together
enough to live together, is that nations … more than their people … matter.

On This Day … My Box … Runneth Over

Leave a reply

On this day and night, my electronic mail box hath runneth over; for tonight
is, in the USA, election-day-night, a sequel to … Halloween’s … fright-night.

Yet Halloween’s fright-night holds not a candle to the frightening ramifications
of election day-night. Halloween’s frights pale next to the frights, of elections.

For electors across the country, masked in partisan republican red or democratic
blue … unwittingly underestimate … stakes at play … surreally, ironic.

To wit: International stories that have dominated the headlines play second fiddle
to domestic issues that … in the big picture … matter … but little.

On Showering vis a vis Bathing … Please Opine … by Commenting

Leave a reply

This post is investigating the pros and cons of showering vis a vis bathing,
and asks that you … please opine … by commenting.

Personally, I have historically been a devotee of the traditional form of cleansing,
i.e., … the modern convenience … of showering.

Lately, however, I have reverted to the more time-honored old way of cleansing,
i.e., … the more immersive procedure … of bathing.

The former now seems to me to be a shortcut with a shortcoming … symbolic;
for while both may cleanse you … only the latter … is a baptism … iconic.
