When the air is clear and bright the days are colder,

The tradition of saying a prayer before eating dates from the times of ancient Temples, when blood sacrifices were offered on High Altars.  They resembled a Bar-B-Q, in as much as they were roasting meat on an open fire.  In Jerusalem, one person at a time was invited to ascend to the Altar to offer the sacrifice, starting with a Cohen.  In those long-forgotten days, a living being was ritually slaughtered with due reverence to the Eternal, Supreme Consciousness of which all life is part, before being “cooked” and then presumably eaten.  In late Republican and early Imperial Rome, there was a Mystery Cult of Mithras, where somehow a bull was identified with their deity and consumed, some say leading to the Xian Mass.   In Judaism, the idea moved from G-d being present in every living ‘soul’ to being serarate from all, including ourselves, needing to reconnect instead of acknowledging that we are already connected in an ontologically identical way.  The early Xians argued about the duality of the paternal and filial persons of their G-dhead, but the same argument applies to every living creature, for we are all equally “children of G-d” as they claim their already-born Mosciach was the “son of G’d” in some unique way that he had but is not shared with all other life forms, as is actually and on examination evidently the case.

When the air is clear and bright the days are colder,

Birds still sing, the flowers grow and we grow older.

If I had a tale to tell I’d write more verses

Filled with blessings and of course a few vile curses.

This is just a first attempt at rhyming writing,

Donning gloves to try to spar, the first time fighting.

Fitting thoughts into a corset made of words is

Just the same as all the twittering of birds.  Is

This new way of writing right for me? Because it

Makes me think, to start to wirite and then to pause, it

Forces ideas out I din’t know I thought, and

Gives me time to phrase and type them as they’re caught, and

Lets me take a page to structure each idea

Making all the inner meanings crystal clear.
