Christ Meets the Grecian World
by Michael Doyle

There are things that we've learned along the way
Such as that, evil will never truly win the day
And that while the devil deals in duplicity 
A truly good person will always withstand adversity

In the Gospel of John, we find the paradigm
That even death might be defeated by the divine
Offered as a philosophy given in its testimony
We have witnessed the wisdom found in Christianity

This then, was the lesson of the Rebbe's wisdom
Found as the key and the way of the kingdom
By which a life is lived toward its salvation
Where good is known by its force, like gravitation

No longer an isolated Jewish sect to be lost in history
The Way came alive as part of Grecian intellectual currency
Spread against the altar of the world's chord
Drawn and split in transformation  by truth's sword

By the third century, wise men pursued the mystery
Drawn out in observation of the patterns of Christianity
Washed against the backdrop of intellectual investigation
And sought after with fervent forays into tradition

That Works For Me
by Michael Doyle

Shooting photos from a different perspective
Is easy, fun and a bit magically reflective
Seagulls flying around the statue's base
And twilight falls giving its new embrace

So many things seen all of the time
Nothing hard in finding the sublime
There it is ready and willing to tangle
When  a little though finds a new angle

At night you might find a blur of connectivity
That shows the speed of life's activity
You can find a little something unusual
Even in those things iconic or seen as usual

Faces are good but it's not a blunder 
To show someone as though lost in wonder
Is there a soul that holds its mystery
There are the moments that show our history

Whether at night or under a new day's sun
It's about the adventure and the fun
All the sights that we might yet see
Are all the best and that works for me

Thought For the Day: I Will Not Play At Tug O’ War. I’d Rather Play At Hug O’ War. Where Everyone Hugs Instead of Tugs

Thought For the Day: As We Dismiss Our Creator From Our Public Spaces, As We Exchange Love and Meaning For Crass Materialism, We Exchange A Culture of Life For A Culture of Death

First Principles: Let Justice Be Done Though The Heavens Should Fall
