Ho...Minion, Your comments were a pleasure to read. House stuff always has too much frustration but even more the issue of time, always longer than anticipated even when estimates are generous. I take that back. We have had help from a guy who is very fast. But then a couple of bits of his work have fallen off the wall!<BR/><BR/>I will own to being a Christian. As you say its in the poems, but it is hard for me to say it, not because of Christ, but because of 20 centuries of baggage and betrayals that go by that name. And alas, I could list some of my own betrayals. <BR/><BR/>I do not identify with the popular notion of religion as an entrenched hiearchial structure with an irrelevant calendar of ceremonies and history of smug judgments.Steve Ishamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11496438591610659902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28237050.post-1157071505079064962006-09-01T10:45:00.000+10:002006-09-01T10:45:00.000+10:00Minion, In the second line I have revised with you...Minion, In the second line I have revised with your suggestion to include the neglected sense. Thanks! It still needs a little further work.<BR/><BR/>I hope I am only 'religious' in the sense of the book of James axiom. (To try to care about oppressed people.) I was amused by your last supper poem. Clever. That was July. Guess you've enjoyed a few suppers now in the new one. It seems like a worthy little execise to run a poem <BR/>idea through all the senses to see what usable timber one can sniff out!Steve Ishamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11496438591610659902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28237050.post-1156889969184497962006-08-30T08:19:00.000+10:002006-08-30T08:19:00.000+10:00Helpful input.Maybe I can re-build the whole house...Helpful input.<BR/>Maybe I can re-build the whole house in a series on poems. :-)<BR/>And yes timber certainly evokes scent... should have made use of that.Steve Ishamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11496438591610659902noreply@blogger.com
