I told my wife that it was almost unfair that someone should be as multiply talented as you are. I've known you as an exquisite writer. I didn't know you were a taletned visual artist as well. Thank you for sharing your gifts and vision.<br /><br />Peace,<br />Jack Zamboni+Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-48839794005649930492011-03-12T18:00:41.469-05:002011-03-12T18:00:41.469-05:00Thanks, Josh.

Really powerful stuff, all the more striking for the anachronisms. The section Ruth performes is called "Journals of the Magdalene: The Last Entries." It begins,<br /><br />I'm eighty-six years old:<br />short of breath,<br />short of time.<br />I have no teeth to bite my enemies.<br />It is time to munch<br />up time, memories, enemies,<br />letters, crosses: repair my soul,<br />by drinking his water I washed<br />His feet in. Ahahaaaaahhhhaah!<br />Give me dandelions,<br />fresh potatoes, grapes,<br />to make my wine for drink<br />before my hair falls out.<br /><br />Oh God, mend the scratches<br />in my mind:<br />I want Jesus to know me<br />as I was.<br />Oh god, heal my humpback,<br />clear my eyes of rheum,<br />grow my hair to red---<br />reverse me.<br /><br />I want Jesus to know me<br />as I was.<br /><br />Sadly, the book is out of print. Perhaps one day it will see the light of day again...Tobias Stanislas Haller BSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047429477181560685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-45374457969296728222011-03-12T16:55:35.951-05:002011-03-12T16:55:35.951-05:00I'd like to use this at dailyoffice.org.

Well done, Tobias.<br /><br />(I got here from your Facebook post.)Josh Thomashttp://dailyoffice.org/noreply@blogger.com
