The Noble Savage

I was in a very satirical kind of mood last week, I did a little free writing and came up with this.

God Bless the Noble Savage

God bless the noble savage
whose life turned out just fine.
Despite the fact that he doesn't feel the need
to spend a single dime

He doesn't need
the Ivy League or honor roll
to turn out just and moral

The noble savage never hesitates
to give to those less off
he doesn't even need the bonus
of an IRS write off

The noble savage is quite content
with his eclectic rags.
He doesn't need $300 shoes
or stuff with designer tags

There is no need for lypo or Adkins
to satisfy his self worth
his daily quest for survival is plenty
to reduce his girth.

Starbuck's and McDonald's
are not high upon his list.
We can only hope the rest of the world
will someday get the gist.

Back in the Habit

I started going to daily Mass again today. I actually missed getting up 7am. This particular Mass was interesting though. After the actual Mass, those assembled were invited to participate in guided adoration of the Eucharist. I'd never done that before and it was a nice experience for me.

I've got my fingers crossed over this job interview I had on Monday. It would be a great opportunity for me, full time position, benefits, etc. Its been at the top of of my prayer list, so I hope that, to paraphrase Bob Dylan, God is on my side.
