Alas, my streak of consecutive blog-posting days is over and out. I started on December 3, 2012 and posted at least once a day through April 14, 2013. I missed posting yesterday.
Ironically, the reason I missed yesterday was through engrossment in the above page, which took me till 10:35 PM to finish–and I had to report for work by 11 PM…
Here are the words to the triple acrostic:
Determined, relentless–society
Dismisses some needs–undeniably
Declares & denotes–impropriety
Denudes us at R A N D O M–inviolably
If let, preconditioned conformity
Inculcates Indulgent austerity
If FREE WILL exists, there’s enormity
In acting when viewing with clarity
Ill Fate–as the Void yawns so terribly
Intrinsic with grappling so wearily
Gigantic distresses unbearably
Gain ground with emotions shown tearily
GRACE gives us redemption felt helically
Grants warrant to forge Fate angelically
Before I tackled the acrostic, I talked to Denise about dignity, and asked her if Jesus on the cross saying “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” was an example of dignity. She made a good case for a Yes answer, since it was a question and not a cursing of God.
The illustration and calligraphy that provide the backdrop for the acrostic are dignity-oriented. I have Jesus speaking French as a tip of the hat to my Canadian friend Michel Lamontagne. Hope I got it right, Michel!
