Here are two things I've read today from the Book of Uncommon Prayer, by Katherine Mosby. They fit my mood.

"Save me
from the doubts
that swarm
like maggots
feeding on a wound.
Leave me not
alone and raw
gnawed down
to the nakedness
of the bone."

And the second one:

"Heal my impatient heart
which burns within me like a canker.
Teach me not to be annoyed
by faults which buzz
in my ears as loudly as mosquito wings.
Help me to love the small, the damaged,
the three-legged dog, without sorrow.
Fill me with understanding
as a pear tree fills with wind--
Touch my leaves,let my blooms shake down
and cover those I love with love."

Those are beautiful, but I especially like the last line. I have people I want to say that for. Cover those I love with love. Including you.

[Ana]

That's one of my favorite James Taylor songs: Shower the people you love with love.

[gail]

You too Ana.

[gail]

You too Jonathan. And Scott. And Craig.

[Julie]

Thanks, Gail. Love you too. And am so grateful for you. And all these Scribalistas.

[gail]

Julie, go to the coffee break thread. Ana is pampering you.

[Ana]

I am loving you lots and lots.

Is there a big sad cloud over Illinios right now? Because I'm detecting a Big Sad Cloud of Big Sad.

Just guessing.

Terrible weather all day. No sunshine. We are thirsty for sunshine.
