More From Homer

The rose is a rose, and was always a rose. but the theory now goes that the apple's a rose, and the pear is, and so's the plum, i suppose. the dear only knows what will next prove a rose. you, of course, are a rose - but were always a rose.
Apples Rose Plums
I stare at her chest. as she breathes, the rounded peaks move up and down like the swell of waves, somehow reminding me of rain falling softly on a broad stretch of sea. i'm the lonely voyager standing on deck, and she's the sea. the sky is a blanket of gray, merging with the gray sea off on the horizon. it's hard to tell the difference between sea and sky. between voyager and sea. between reality and the workings of the heart.
Lonely Rain Moving
The gods have fled, i know. my sense is the gods have always been essentially absent. i do not believe human beings have played games or sports from the beginning merely to summon or to please or to appease the gods. if anthropologists and historians believe that, it is because they believe whatever they have been able to recover about what humankind told the gods humankind was doing. i believe we have played games, and watched games, to imitate the gods, to become godlike in our worship of eachother and, through those moments of transmutation, to know for an instant what the gods know.

The sea of galilee and the dead sea are made of the same water. it flows down, clean and cool, from the heights of herman and the roots of the cedars of lebanon. the sea of galilee makes beauty of it, the sea of galilee has an outlet. it gets to give. it gathers in its riches that it may pour them out again to fertilize the jordan plain. but the dead sea with the same water makes horror. for the dead sea has no outlet. it gets to keep.
Life Beauty Death
Mortal beauty often makes me ache, and mortal grandeur can fill me with that longing...but paris, paris drew me close to her heart, so i forgot myself entirely. forgot the damned and questing preternatural thing that doted on mortal skin and mortal clothing. paris overwhelmed, and lightened and rewarded more richly than any promise.

The idea of a terrorist attack that assaults innocent human beings in a building, or a mall or a restaurant is bad enough--yet the terrorist mind that looks at a passenger plane and sees the fuel and the intensity of the blast, and sees the rocket engines that will carry it into the heart of destruction like a cruise missile, but who does not see the humanity of one single soul on that airplane is the chilling truth of what we're up against.

God help thee, old man, thy thoughts have created a creature in thee; and he whose intense thinking thus makes him a prometheus; a vulture feeds upon that heart for ever; that vulture the very creature he creates.

Most christians are still living with an old testament view of their heart. jeremiah 17:9 says, 'my heart is deceitfully wicked.' no, it's not. not after the work of christ, because the promise of the new covenant is a new heart.
