Just about three random thoughts. It is Sunday, and it can be difficult to stay focused on the weekend.

On Mass, there was an Old Testament reading today where God famously says to Moses, “I am who am.” I did not fully understand the statement as a child. I guess it is about acceptance,

In his sermon, the pastor spoke about metanoia, meaning change of heart. A Protestant acquaintance spoke to me recently about being “born again” when he met his future wife. I think in my religion it refers to this as being a bad or good Catholic.

Was watching some random music videos today too. One that came up on YouTube was “Come Undone” by Duran Duran. I have written about the pop group before, but I like this song. The poet Seamus Heaney spoke about the strains of strength that can emerge during times of weakness. I think that may be what this song is about.

Two stupid poems

“Angry” by yours truly

Angry dogs,

Dialogues,

Stupid blogs;

Be careful in fogs.

“Paste” by yours truly

Sometimes a mind

Is a terrible thing toothpaste.

Is life a waste?/
