" Concerning God, freewill and destiny: Of all that earth has been or yet may be, all that vain men imagine or believe, or hope can paint or suffering may achieve, we descanted. "
--Percy Bysshe Shelley ( 1792-1822 )
" descanted "... talked or dwelled upon enthusiastically and/or at great length.
More by Percy Bysshe Shelley: " The soul's joy lies in doing. " and " Death is the veil which those who live call life; They sleep, and it is lifted. " I haven't read his " Prometheus Unbound " yet... must put it on my reading list. Accomplished greatness in his (30) years alloted to him on earth... what might have been ?
Called Mom and had a nice chat... her voice a bit raspy... but all is well. Said my sister Peg is ill, but the other siblings are fine.
Two visitors from the Priesthood quorum ( LDS ) for discussions this evening. A continuation of my education. A bit clearer on " agency "... now, and in the here-after.
Da Boards (briefly), BLOG, a bit of TechTv viewing on TV, news, Gospel study, fed the horses. Tried, again, to get the bloody music cassette that is stuck in Gail's van's player... no luck !... gave up before any great damage done.
Set alarm? for 6:00 a.m. PST... better hurry up and post !!!
My entries... " Poetry in Motion" daily contest:
Jupiter
Vibrant orb jewel
Turbulent mystique fills view
Ganymede's delight

" Jupiter "... a Haiku: Ganymede... a link !... the point of origin I envision the photo set for inspiration. The photo actually terrestrial in nature of an incredible sunset of striated cloud layers... running the gamut from dark hued purple to light rose-orange; but still appearing to me as the largest crown jewel of our local system, Jupiter, from the vantage point of one of its moons.
Bedkee yertam hima !!!
