Everyday ChristiansI would imagine Adam Smith's invisible cooperative economic
self-and-Other-investment hand,
at least during Christian Sunday morning services,
looked and sounded and felt very much
like the One Invisibly-Organic-Holistic-Enlightened MindBody of Christ.

Watching IsmsThere is a world of difference
between schism and jism,
but they both end up the same.

Evolving Days and Revolving NightsI guess the candidates and polity saying "no"
to Earth's human refugees
during this their Thanksgiving time,
