Novelty Is Not A Good Thing

Changing my screen name back to Starward.  I can't live without it.


Today I found out I am in some possible (but, thank God, not considered probable) danger.  The med dosages given me today should correct this, but I have to return to the Cardiologist on Friday to determine my status.  I realized then I do not want to die under any other name but Starward.


Laugh or sneer as you like that I did not have the good sense to realize this when I entertained the prospect of changing it, to j-called, this past Sunday.  I should have understood.  I have to learn by fault and by failure.  Thankfully, my Savior allows certain circumstances to shed light on my foolishness.  I, am no one else, am the biggest horse's ass in the cosmos.


But I am also, through---and only through---the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior I need every moment of every day, Starward.

Since you first showed up to

Since you first showed up to comment on my poems, I couldn't separate the Poet from the name. Of course, you're always free to change your name as you please, but to many of us, you're always Starward and always a star. My heartfelt prayers and best wishes.

Thank you for your comment. 

Thank you for your comment.  And yes, I agree.  But what began as somewhat disturbing information---the potential danger toward which I was drifting was turned, by God, to a teachable moment right after I left the doctor's office.  And this is a significant time of the year for me---the season when, in 1976, my friendship with Cerulean, solidified and began to draw me out from under the shadows of my parents and my (then) circumstances.  And then, the same July in which we celebrated the nation's two hundredth anniversary became the first month of my independence from what had been a very mundane and repressed existence.


Please forgive my verbosity, and thank you very much for commenting.
