More About Me

What I want you to know about me...

I am a flawed but grateful Catholic Christian.
*
In my old-age, I realize that my new screen-name, Coerulescens, is a gift from my c.b. handle, Starwatcher, itself the gift I was helped to receive by my First Beloved, BlueShift, just after dusk on Saturday, July 10th, 1976. The new screen name acknowledges my favorite Scriptures: Revelation 22:1, Psalm 72:13, Matthew 2:1, 2nd Peter 2:19, and Sirach 43:9. As a poetic phrase, it also acknowledges the Blue Shift of the Doppler Effectt as a metaphoric spiritual parable. It also acknowledges a phrase from T. S. Eliot's poem, *Ash Wednesday* IV:10 "Blue of Mary's color," which I first read in the Autumn of 1976. MY ROMAN CATHOLIC FAITH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF MY LIFE! I hope to live long enough---if the Lord will so favor me---to see the entire year of 2027: its days and dates, beginning with March 1st, will correspond exactly to those of 1976---the most transformative year of my life. I pray that I may enjoy the personal significance of 2027 in full, to its very last night, as Coerulescens. I use several other names on this site: 'Anthropos' for certain Biblical poems; Kyakuchuu for poems in Asian forms, and Starward/StarSpared. Any other name is now spurious.

Constantine Cavafy's poem, "Very Seldom," describes my situation, and my hope for my Ad Astra poems.

My Haigo (or Haiku name), Kyakuchuu, means "footnote" in Japanese.
