D H Laurence

The last couple weeks I have been alert to poems and sayings rich with humanity and wisdom,

Here is one for a Friday in the U.S. when the national government is locked in suspicion about and contempt for those elected people with whom one disagrees.  Venomous suspicion.   I was looking through an old journal from 1991;  on a 4″ by 6″ card, 20 + years ago I typed this saying.   Ointment for healing suspicion.

today’s word

What is the knocking
What is the knocking at the door
in the night?
It is somebody wants to do us harm.

No.  No. It is the three strange angels.
ADMIT THEM.
ADMIT THEM.

D. H. Lawrence

blessings for Friday and this early October weekend.
