Don't drink the Blue Water
Broadcast LIVE Fridays, 7:30 AM Eastern on player.enlightenradio.org
Hosts: Karen Valentine, John Case
Karen and John consider the Rubber and Road parable, which has diametrically opposed meanings. One person hears the drone of safe passage; another hears the vibrations of being run over thousands of times. Plus a Plug for Fair Trade and Friendship!

Paris on the Potomac: If I had a billion dollars
If I had a billion dollars, and the hospitals were closed, and I saw the Rough Beast of the Second Coming.....
That is no country for old men. The youngIn one another’s arms, birds in the trees—Those dying generations—at their song,The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas,Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer longWhatever is begotten, born, and dies.Caught in that sensual music all neglectMonuments of unageing intellect.
An aged man is but a paltry thing,A tattered coat upon a stick, unlessSoul clap its hands and sing, and louder singFor every tatter in its mortal dress,Nor is there singing school but studyingMonuments of its own magnificence;And therefore I have sailed the seas and comeTo the holy city of Byzantium.
O sages standing in God’s holy fireAs in the gold mosaic of a wall,Come from the holy fire, perne in a gyre,And be the singing-masters of my soul.Consume my heart away; sick with desireAnd fastened to a dying animalIt knows not what it is; and gather meInto the artifice of eternity.
Once out of nature I shall never takeMy bodily form from any natural thing,But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths makeOf hammered gold and gold enamellingTo keep a drowsy Emperor awake;Or set upon a golden bough to singTo lords and ladies of ByzantiumOf what is past, or passing, or to come.
This poem is in the public domain.

Karen and John : What did Jesus do after the Inns were closed at his birth? What will 'able-bodied' men do when rural WV hospitals close from defunding Medicaid, responsible for over half the births in this state?
