So you're gonna die.
Everyone's gonna die.
But is that really why
ev'ry little thing/ upsets you/
.
Why coldn't I stop?
I don't know.
Why couldn't I change course?
I don't know that either.
.
63; thus passing through
my 64th year, I yet can often
innovate, and re-innovate.
Therefore, why sometimes
.
[do] I get mired in a/
harmful way of doing/
I can only attribute to/
a deranged self-awareness?
.
Those times when reason/
permeates my self-awareness
regarding a particular,
I can cease [doing] 
that which is harmful.
.
At least begin to.

In an offline place, today I took a first step
toward outlining my life's oeuvres, if I am
given the time to do so; and eventually toward
presenting the extant majority of my writings
under one title, if I am given the time to do so.

There are preliminary stories to
what I am being moved to say here,
but I am going to elide them.
*
What I wish to do is give a little sermon
on the word "as" in The Lord's Parayer.
That word, to me, has these meanings:
1. to the degree in which
2. in the manner of how.
[ 2008-07-07: The "as" I was speaking of
  occurs in the passage:
  "And forgive us our trespasses
  as we forgive those
  who trespass against us." ]
*
Further,
"Vengeance is mine,"
saith the Lord;
and
"Whatsoever you shall do unto these,
the least of My brethren,
you do unto Me,"
Jesus said;
and also,
"Love your enemy."

Further, do not
forget Jesus's word's:
"Father, forgive them;
(for) they do not know
what (it is) they do."

It may well be
the bloggers
rule the net,
but just as they
were becoming the power
in online journalizing/
I was taking my
journalizing powers
into the offline.

Am considering opening a . . . [site]
on which I will present a
different creation of mine each day.
I may, for instance, for all the seeming
senselessness of it/ from certain
vantage places, begin by presenting
each of the 366 sonnets in my 1976.

Offline Capricorn Journal I was keeping
is full.  The hardbound notebook was, I believe,
a gift from Janice years back.I am writing
a short poem on an unlined page at the rear
of the notebook.

An outline (a listing of titles) of my works
which I've begun on some legal size yellow/
lined paper/ I am now intending to place here,
but not tonight.

Am considering beginning a new page.
I want to make an annotated outline
of my writings.  I know I will probably
miss some, but I can always add them
when I happen upon them.  I any case,
it seems appropriate to have them all
on the same page.  Besides, there continue
to be new ones, and I think I will need
the space.  I know it will look cleaner.
As to SAPLINGS, I may reveal exactly
what I have, if I can find it.
