Pink Parasol: a Linked Post

Today I was thinking of posting a piece about a streetpreacher I encountered a week or so ago, someone whose sermon seemed consonant with the theme of Not One Dime day, which is today, for those of you keeping track. 

But INSTEAD, I find that today is the day I’ve been guest-blogged on one of the finest sites in the blogiverse, Lilywhite Intentions, managed by the beautiful and brilliant Jules, who is having a very challenging week.  Jules, I wish you much luck in surviving the maelstrom, and until then, I hope my little story about Slow Pink Parasol Guy is entertaining for you and your many loyal followers - among whom I am proud to number myself. 

I’ll be back tomorrow with my sermonette.  Till then, send some love and strength Jules’ way.  She is like the pink parasol that rises above the fray to make all things, even the ordinary, even the ugly, sublime.  Except she’s not lined with foil and she has a rapier hidden inside her.  And a tiny flask of the good stuff, but that’s for later.

Loved it, loved it, loved it. I left a comment on Lilywhite site.

I just LOVE the way you see the world and us in the world.

dude, you are SO going to have to introduce me at my funeral.

excellent write-up!  you captured him perfectly.

Okay, okay. I’ve been a lurker so I account for a couple of hits.  I’ve clicked over from Jules’ and Brad’s blogrolls, and have been waiting for something witty to say first (this was NOT it).

Human law is law only by virtue of its accordance with right reason, and by this means it is clear that it flows from Eternal law. In so far as it deviates from right reason it is called an Unjust law; and in such a case, it is no law at all, but rather an assertion of violence. by poker network
