unmasked - for your protection.

lessons learned in the year of COVID - 2020:

Barbara Walters knew more than we imagined.

2020 actually does imply perfect vision (except for sheep).

Time off work is beneficial (perhaps not the full extent of a 3 month furlough...)

Truth is harder to believe than lies (just move your cursor to the LEFT of any social media feed).

Viruses spread with less resistance in Churches, Schools and Small Business (ABC the exception).

Unfollow option on social media is the epitome of social distancing.

Science trumps God (refer back to line #2).

Hot and Ready takes on a whole new meaning (Pizza anyone?).

Defunding the police will cure racism (with exception to Elites, they deserve protection).

Cognitive function is only required of Elephants (ineptitude of Donkeys - preexisting condition).

and last but surely not least -

Epstein didn't kill himself!

perhaps a patch

i often find myself promoting allegiance to faith -
especially to those struggling in arenas of doubt.
i challenge them to step out of the chains of fear so inappropriately self imposed.

parables recited.
miracles referenced.
volumes of scripture quoted.

most often,
it seems the effort in vain.
reformation available yet undesired.
it appears the accouterments of vanity supersede the paltry garments of sincere.
yet in this season of contradiction,
i find my reservoir of believe nearly drained.
how can i offer admonition for religious insurrection
while wearing transparent Alb of supposed conviction?
who am i to stand behind pulpits of discern
with eyes closed to the inferiority of my own diminished capacity?

i suppose -
if measuring the volume of could in the much larger vessel of should -
we all find opportunity for replenishment.
and sometimes -
when feeling less than full -
perhaps a patch..
