Combatting The Coronavirus!

... and fight it off

with all you've got!

That's Right:

BEER!

And if you're not sure which ones to use

(or chug) here are just a few

luminous suggestions:

... although they clearly have their origin

in sin, paganism too -and blaspheme of an

Ostensory of the Catholic Church, in one

obvious clear cut case there- these beers

are, overall, not too bitter at all...

Not filling at all either; just fine - I guess.

This isn't the taste-testing blog here,

but we can share so much - hmm?

We'd even add CORONA here;

but without lime, it may not feel right.

(No, I am not saying that you'd

get both the coronavirus

and lyme disease - NO!)

(Mas agora assim, em segredo,

podém acreditar nisso...)

you can believe the publicity:

- STILL; we will recommend

H20 before anything ~ always!

JUST NOT FROM A SINGLE-USE

PLASTIC BOTTLE - OKAY?

and as for the beer-makers, brewers, breweries and

microbreweries - all:

NOW THAT ~

is a luminous idea!

but prayer will help - A LOT - too!

Hello Sadness

"Sur ce sentiment inconnu dont l'ennui, la douceur m'obsèdent, j'hésite à apposer le nom, le beau nom grave de tristesse. C'est un sentiment si complet, si égoïste que j'en ai presque honte alors que la tristesse m'a toujours paru honorable. Je ne la connaissais pas, elle, mais l'ennui, le regret, plus rarement le remords. Aujourd'hui, quelque chose se replie sur moi comme une soie, énervante et douce, et me sépare des autres."
(from "Bonjour tristesse" by Françoise Sagan, 1935-2004)

'Bonjour Tristesse' became a film in 1957 - starring the tragic Jean Seberg and the late, great David Niven...
Who else remembers the 50th anniversary of this film - hmm?

Today, strangely enough moreso than in the months of anguish in 2006, the words penned by a very young Sagan reverberate more both with as within me than at any other time...
I guess I am an absent-minded nutty professor type after all - me, who wanted to avoid teaching as a career option, at all costs...
I am both absent-minded and downright NUMB -
since March 2006 most particularly...
Slow to react to things...
Not seeing the point - of anything, really...

However, the Lord Wants us to be happy
To flourish, prosper, rejoice
To live in bliss - for He Is with us!

And He Sent us ~

we were dispatched, here, on Earth - yes!

We have a Mission to accomplish

- each and every single one of us.

Some of us may be Judases, alas...

But that is another story!

Speaking of Judas, however...

We get back to Jesus;

after what Judas has done what he

actually had to do...

The Christ Himself despaired then
Up on the Mount of Olives

As He Does Up on The Cross -

He Said:
"Oh, Father - why has thou forsaken me?"

If even HE Could have a moment like that

Surely I can be excused as well...

All of us can.

Everybody reels from one thing or another,
at one time or another

We fall down - we get back up on our feet

Resilience does not allow for this

Faith does.

We remain faithful
and hopeful, both,
that things will improve

And that Our Father Is There, with us

For He Is.

Even if we're too numb to realize it
