"Every woman should be overwhelmed with shame at the thought that she is a woman." St. Clement of Alexandria LOL! One of the most revered Christians of all times (an exalted and esteemed Father of the Church and a Saint) believed that matter was eternal (not popular with modern Christians!) and that Eve was created by a wet dream! How many millions and millions of pages have they all cobbled together invented out of whole cloth from their curiosity of the world. It is like thousands of people for the next 2000 years writing thousands and thousands of scholarly papers on the Lord of the Rings as though it were a real story of real events. Can you imagine people like Matthew Henry running their heads over the hidden meanings of Frodo's journey and the various cast and crew together with millions of pages of theological/metaphysical analysis on every single word and line?? Yuck. That would really ruin a great story...

A poignant Easter Poem EASTER BUNNY by Mary Brandolino In memory of all the bunnies we couldn't save. I remember Easter Sunday It was colorful and fun The new life that I'd begun In my new cage. I was just a little thing When they brought me from the store And they put me on the floor In my cage. They would take me out to play Love and pet me all the time Then at day's end I would climb In my cage. But as days and weeks went by I saw less of them it seemed Of their loving touch I dreamed In my cage. In the night outside their house I felt sad and so neglected Often scared and unprotected In my cage. In the dry or rainy weather Sometimes hotter sometimes colder I just sat there growing older In my cage. The cat and dog raced by me Playing with each other only While I sat there feeling lonely In my cage. Upon the fresh green grass Children skipped and laughed all day I could only watch them play From my cage. They used to take me out And let me scamper in the sun I no longer get to run In my cage. Once a cute and cuddly bunny Like a little ball of cotton Now I'm grown up and forgotten In my cage. I don't know what went wrong At the home I did inhabit I just grew to be a rabbit In my cage. But they've brought me to the pound I was once loved and enjoyed Now I wait to be destroyed In my cage.
