A congregation of many will muddle a milieu... two or three congregants in the midst will do
To a truth that nobody wants...yet in spite of them selves...their thoughts they will shelve... for an answer..the question they fear to ask...yet seek thru the weak...is where their strength will peak...in that light they will bask and a smile will crease the unwilling cheek...


Just testing the waters of a river gone by...hoping to ride the time that does fly
no response is the best...the magistrate...do not test... my words are the belt that does gird...
my silence is golden yet always embolden...after all tis only a word..

Ditto!

As in this famous dialog from the classic American western movie.

Hedley Lamar: Be still Taggart, my mind is aglow with whirling transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention

Taggart: Ditto

Nice work Logo! i enjoy your threads.

Your friend Luther.

It's late and I think I need a beer, but after reading it a couple of times, I think you are O=on more than O= off.

A friend named Luther is a welcome sight all things considered...tho they never are...

CL I wish I had read this before your last...the beer is bitter... I will pass...remembrance of times past......things happen so fast....tho in stone it is not cast...

btw Luther did you know Hedy Lamar was an inventor who invented a radio device that helped the allies during a war I am not allowed to mention defeat an enemy I am not allowed to mention by making it more difficult for them to intercept radio messages. It is called "frequency hopping" and that laid the foundation for for wifi, gps and bluetooth technology. One of her quotes... " any girl can be sexy, all she has to do is stand still and look stupid"

Any thread that references a Mel Brooks movie is fine by me!

Logo, yes, she was born Nov 9, 1914 (would have been 101 on Monday) and the ideas she and team had for encryption during WWII including frequency hopping are the basis of our cool technologies for cell phones, WIFI, Bluetooth etc. If I have my facts correct, she and a composer used a piano to model the theory which was more advanced than the technology of the time could support.

Wish Mel Brooks could have included her in Blazzing Saddles. Hedy and Headley / Harvey / Brooks. Ok, maybe too many geniuses.

This reminds me of another piece of Saddles dialog "Nietzsche said 'out of chaos comes order' " which is why I read your posts.

Thanks for note on Hedy! I re-read her bio on Monday.

Logo, I did not know you were a poet of such magnitude. The profound truths in your poem have moved me to tears. smilewinkgrin Plus, I fell in love with Hedy(but not Hedley) as a mere child, when I could easily understand why Samson would tell her the secret to his strength, though it proved a fatal error for him. But how could a mere male resist such beauty? And as it turns out, brains too! Anyway, beautiful poem!

BillyBob, the beauty of a poem is that the words to them become specific to the reader in as many ways as there are readers. They are not my words, they belong to the reader whose own mind set, based on his/her experiences rearranges their meaning to offer the salve that soothes his/hers unique soul. The rarity is when two mind sets meet , finding the same meaning{very rare}, which is where the term soul mates could apply. Operative word could. What moves me by the responses is the handful of respondents and the synchronicity of events of yesterday that go to the heart of the poem. Indeed the sychronicity of respondents themselves. Luther{Lutheran theologian}. Yourself, angst by recent events and misunderstandings a War.. Both avid fans of Hedy Lamarr. If I turn the tv on now and see the movie BlazingSaddles , Samson and Deliela or the wester Luther referred to... I will surely evaporate into stardust. See, the light shines, usually in our darkest moments...in time. Thanks again Lady and Gentle...Men...
