"
fifty million ideas"
my editorial:
and those damn cold cruel drear corners-
(oh see their beauty)
be joyful in hope, patient in affliction...-romans 12:12
...count it all joy...-james 1:2-4
-to well delve and remonstrate against by remaining still,
be still...-psalm 46:10
afterall, as woodman wryly states:
"this is serious!"
can we never stop (take our chances right; we own the mystery) seek and sit in strength not our own
maybe that's wisdom
~
too,
our excellence points back to our creator
even when left unrecognized-our value endures. no one can dim or diminish what God gifts each of us
(with regard to the oft tepid response to her work at the time)
there you go, the elite experts often get it wrong
but it all sorts itself out in the end
