Use The Geometry

He left His fingerprint on a glass the
earth drinks
from.

Every religion has studied it.
Churches and temples use the geometry of those lines
to establish rites and laws and prayers
and our ideas of the
universe.

I guess there is just no telling how out of hand—and wonderfully wild—
things will get

when our lips catch up to

His.

:) I'm glad you enjoy. This week I've been aiming for some happier stuff -- leading up to Palm Sunday. Next week will be darker stuff.
