Show mercy













Micah 7:18-19
Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.

Very Fucking Hungry












Two crows chortled and cackled in the sky. A wild dog howled somewhere in the hills. Ah could hear the cgirruping of hungry chicks. Close by, a mule brayed in despair. Ah heard the idiot twittering of a lark. Bees hummed earnestly. All about me the world seemed in need of attention.

All about me the world demanded that it be attended to. It was time all the fledglings and chicklings, weaners and catlings, lambs, piglets and babies were attended to.

Ah was in woeful need of attention. Ah was in terrible need of nourishment. Mah body longed for sustenance. How long would ah have to wait? Do you know?
Did ah tell you ah was very fucking hungry?
