Reading over a shoulder, A kingdom by the sea, MP3, and a PS letter G

Up above are two guys in front of the local "Art" Museum. According to certain authorities we spent a lot more time yesterday in this local destination that we did in the "British Museum". Today on "Sunday Morning" the ending scenes were of the water crashing against the rocks from the ocean. Yesterday on my 5 mile run, listeing to my IPOD, I was listening to a Poem. You see I got a book of Poems that had the same poems on a CD. Of course it was MP3 and my car doesn't do MP3 but the IPOD does. So I just downloaded the poems that I liked in between the songs. Interesting thing about both songs and poems is that hearing them a few times changes how you feel about them. I have always like the Poem, "How do I Love Thee". Another that I like is Annabel Lee by Edgar Allen Poe

It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

By the name of Annabel Lee;

And this maiden she lived with no other thought

Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,

In this kingdom by the sea;

But we loved with a love that was more than love-

I and my Annabel Lee;

With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven

Coveted her and me.

Understanding the "Parables of Jesus Christ" is a book I was re reading later yesterday. It starts out saying "There is nothing in all literature equal to the parables of Christ." Parables teach in layers. One person gets to one layer another to a different layer. They are based on commonplace events, short stories, contain points of comparison, have symbolic elements, confirm established truths, and are open ended. I of course agree completly that nothing could equal Chirst's parables but I also belive that all things testify of Him and in some ways much of what we experience is a parable.

So it seems like so many years ago

our lives were like a small kingdom.

I was a child and so was she.

I had never thought of the winged seraphs or MP3.

The British Museum had never been seen by me

Truth be told I had never seen an Ocean or been on a plane

until I found one to love in our kingdom by our sea.
