I ask for prayer for travel mercies as I go to Mexico for five days. I pray for everyone's safety and well being and we might have a good time. Thanks.

The Tejano Considers Seeds
Sebastián H. Páramo
To flower from seeds,
to make roots from water
means there’s a tending
or soft beginning like tenderness.
Delicate young germination
from soil. My baby. My soil as a noun.
A piece of ground from the Old French for sol.
A native lightness. The sol rises in Texas too.
Rising like a verb, there’s no stillness
to the threshold—another word for the bottom of a door,
meaning there’s a sill soiled. A sill or cut timber. Laid
& crossed over. To soil a verb meaning
there is original sin, meaning before dirt
there was cleanliness. No entry, no violation
of God. A mess of seeds that needs
water. Give us a mess of thick mud.
Que chiquero. Standing still like a cleansing
after a gentle roll-around. Wallowing in a field
como un puerco. Madrugando con hambre—
I am your shepherd. I am ready for battle
with the pastured sky
you fought so hard against
their beanstalks growing upside down, reaching for hell.

Verse of the Day
for Tuesday, December 13, 2022
When King Herod had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. "In Bethlehem in Judea," they replied, "for this is what the prophet has written: 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means the least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.'"
—Matthew 2:4-6
