I'm not here to bow at strumming temples.
My knees have lost the stomach to be knelt.
I submit to orchestrating Y*weh
--in chords that He would have Himself be spelt.

Hello Norman, I really like your poem. In my family lots of us have trouble with eating ordinary wheat and we feel we have "lost the stomach" like you. I don't really understand the connection with "chords" and "spelt" but i know spelt is grown in the mountains and then Bingo! you were thinking of Leonard in Mt Baldy, right? I don't know if he also has a gluten/wheat problem but I like to think I have something in common with the Master!

thanks for your poem and hope your stomach is not too bad

Dear Norman this is the one where you forgot to comment on my comment (and it's not the only time, you Naughty Boy!). I just wanted to ask you how the stomach was today and whether you have devised any strategies to deal with your allergy

love
