I tell you, in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than ninety-nine righteous people who do not need repentance.  Luke 15:7

Barely weeks of seven of the orgy
Space crash of 117 people in a Bellview
Tragedy came knocking
This time harder with anger to
Ginger blood off its hunger

Unto the street of heaven came the commotion
On the Flyers descendant to the open
Field in the Rivers of Port-Harcourt
Emerge the Sosoliso...

             Compounds and Elements


It's painful to recall my so head full or rocks.
Inorganic chemistry was for me, plain, mysterious bedrock!

Luckily my chemistry partner must have been from heaven sent. 
To me, with a...

In his youth,
he was as Loyola,
a soldier, then he was converted
and became a priest.

He succored  and strengthen
the Catholic prisoners,
uplifting their faint bodies
with a new spirit of faith.

After 20 years’ labor,
he was arrested and condemned
for his priestly character,

and led by his oppressors 
to...

....On Receiving my Nursing Cap......

On the shores of Lake Michigan, I bowed my head, 
and received my nursing cap.
At Madonna de LaStrada  Chapel, long before the
days there was a life overcome with Apps!

In those days we wore uniforms, white stockings 
and white shoes.
Rules were...

As I walk out past the sands of Loyola beach,
out to the lighthouse on the point,
I thank god for this small retreat, this recouping,
and reforming of my reckless life.
An unusually warm May wind
caresses my face and tickles a foreign smile
upon my lips.
I look at the...

We've heard of ALS
as "Lou Gehrig's disease"
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
a cause to pray on our knees

But Lou Gehrig felt he was
"the luckiest man on earth"*
the Yankees, and his wife
the main reasons for mirth

Thankful for his life

at ease in his disease
what an awfully...

   My date's handwriting, still alive in it.

I once knew a fellow from Pensacola
Who drank liters of fizzy Coca-Cola 
He peed in the street
And on his bare feet
Now I think he is enrolled at Loyola.

Andrea Pozzo used the quadratura technique
but innovatively gave it a tweak
Creating a 3d space upon the flat
what do you think of that*
