doctor whom
and how to heal

I love the chosen people
and
who shouldn’t for their being
first of all
the people of the Earth with
all

and their stories are
remarkable
and
for me and those like me
these folk
and folklore are
the
parent presence and allowance
of our faith
further
on

and this love comes to mind
because of
news
I guess
and who’s making all the terrible mistakes
and
who has made them over time

and
who loves whom
through imperfection
spying first the log before getting
to
specks

Matthew 7
3 to 5

these are my forebears by tradition
and
in the present are a fine
wonderful people
whose festivals
are
grandly calendared then more
importantly
observed

and don’t the observations show
a range
of who we are
and
now we belief

maybe anyone on Earth

and
yes
honestly
and if to forfeit something to the human world
I love the Arabs
too
and all Semitic
sibling peoples and then course the love
through
Asia
back through Africa
Americas
Pacifica
those visiting free polar
lands
directions ‘round
and people
‘round

and
not that anything goes missed
but
what better way to fix or
re-set the vision
but
together with a practical
human affection to invoke and thus
allow

the people of the Earth
sense each
other
and with an aspect of
positive interest
desire to
know
and eagerness to serve

and let that serve the fullness
of Shalom

and by the mention of it, I believe that folklore is real)
