ENVY...




it steals my joy and undermines my love...



In the worst of times jealousy bitter desire and covetousness of anyone...nay everyone who has more, can do more or lives better than I...
my heart is being stretched and torn by wishes and hopes without action...until it has created a false image, a false Pauline for itself....

Psalm 37
...
Trust in the Lord, and do good

dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
and your justice as the noonday.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,
over the man who carries out evil devices!

The only way against it is trusting in the Lord...

believing in his perfect power to perfect you...

in that there is peace!

Our reading for this month: Edmund Spenser...
The Faerie Queen is an epic poem celebrating, through fantastical allegory, the Tudor dynasty and Elizabeth the I....It never ceases to amaze me how the most pious and righteous of men(kind) can be seduced and deceived by the tricks of 'Sathan' and of that horrible city of Pride which has swallowed so many...
Even the holy Red Crosse Knight falls pray sometimes to these wiles.

Speaking of insanity... I present for your consideration, Salvador Dali, the Spanish surealist artist, who had an irrational fear of locusts. Above-"Morphological Echo"

"Three Sphinxes of Bikini"
"Soft Construction with boiled beans" A premonition of civil war, this a representation of the state of the Spanish when in civil war, alterantley grasping up at themselves and holding themselves down under foot...
"The Burning Giraffe" In the distance is a giraffe with its back on fire DalĂ­ described this image as “the masculine cosmic apocalyptic monster.” He believed it to be a premonition of war...
"The Face of War" Dali often claimed that his works were premonitions of war...this painting was done between the Spanish Civil War and the second World war.

The Soloist
