And The Heart Beats On (Bu Bum, Bu Bum) poem

For April's poetry group, the topic was to create something with repetition like a repeated line ex in the Raven "Nevermore". Here is what I came up with.  And The Heart Beats On (Bu Bum, Bu Bum) Billions of people all over the Earth. Each day over 300 thousand new births! Each person seeking, learning to become. And the heart beats on (Bu Bum, Bu Bum)   New challenges arise each day of the year. Bad weather, bad news, things fill us with fear. Yet still we try hard to avoid the doldrums. And the heart beats on (Bu Bum, Bu Bum)   Perhaps it’s the hardships that give life it’s flair. Now I’m not saying that all things are fair. Though many feel hopeless; there’s much hope for some.

The Litany of Humility: A short, powerful prayer for Lent.

 The Litany of Humility is a prayer away from ourselves and directed to others. It calls to mind the words of Jesus who emphasized the meek and lowly of the world over the prideful and exalted. During Lent and throughout the year it’s good to remember this in our competitive and status symbol oriented world.  https://youtu.be/tLpr-5iWSuY?si=hHSEf1U8NO8BkMf7
