A Greek long, long dead,
Is said to have said,
“Know thyself.”
The greatest JEW taught
To say what we ought,
“No” to self. – eab, 3/9/07

Heaven sent a covering for all the world last night.
Was it red? Was it orange? (Imagine such a sight. K)
Was it yellow, green, blue? What would these hues do?
Was it purple? Was the covering indigo? No.
Heaven’s cover had all those colors – it was “light.” – eab, 12/5/06

Ole Achan saw, coveted, took;
Became a bad name in the good Book.
Coveting is against God’s law,
Though the sin was not that he saw.
Watch – Do not take that second look. –eab, 11/20/05
