Phalluses: Extra ones on the male shoulders like lollipops - so that sexism can be equitable. We could knit them little muffs for winter, but Dali would smile. I saw Persistence of Memory at the Chicago Inst. Of Art . I sttod mesmerized for half an hour. Steven's model painting, The blue guitar, is also there. :D

Isolation And Trust: .
Periodically, we all withdraw from social tragedies, it is a risk. Women can be the hero of their life or victims, searching perpetually for a sitcom family and friends life or picking up the reigns and yelling, H'Yaaa!!! And you are off.

Covid has not stopped me. I bother everyone with texts. I gave up fb (Meta) too intrusive. Family has gone virtual. I still send cards and write letter - inserting poems in them. I am re-reading my library. Time to hit the second hand bookstore to find your favorite authors! We only thrive as social animals! It requires cultivation of a shiekding and healthy dose of not following. lead!.

Be well.
I wondered if you might have: I wondered if you might have a Christmas insight for us, and here it is. I think sometimes we forget that the elegac mood is as appropriate to Christmas as festive carolling. In the calendar of liturgical churches, Christmas is followed by the commemoration of multiple murders---the lynching of Deacon Stephen (the 26th), and Herod's mass murder of the children in Bethlehem (the 28th). Thank you for reminding us of our losses at a time when human nature, being damaged, is often tempted to forget or ignore them.
Your comment was one of those: Your comment was one of those brilliant gems "in the wordmine". I'm thrilled that you can relate because what truly matters is the reader: what did I give? Thank you for your validation and sharp insight. It means so much.
"...it was familiar/and it: "...it was familiar/and it rhymed/well enough" - the story of my life! The line snagged me. I got netted and pulled in. I am always glad to discover a gem in the wordmine that tumbles into the palm, is thrown into the air, grasped, and pocketed. You never know what line will target and bullseye a reader. :D

I have a new favorite! The: I have a new favorite! The way you connected our present lives to monumental, spiritual events, making the heavenly bodies a "cosmic witness . . . like a spiritual rhyme" was a breathtaking sweep of inspiration and beauty. Magnificent!
An expansive view of ultimate: An expansive view of ultimate reality beyond this dense realm and even what we call heaven. I like your implication that the destination is not necessarily a place but a focus, a state, that we are. Uplifting and liberating.
I'm imagining a superb: I'm imagining a superb finished creation, but even if you ended it here, there is a sense of blissful completion in this compact adventure from first sight to deep connection. Wonderful.

Thanks, allets. Let me: Thanks, allets. Let me ruminate for some time.. because I often forget about some.of these grammar rules, especially if I talk in street sociolects often, or even if I do not use it as often as it should be correctly used.. due to possible intercultural incompetence on my part.
