Donna took communion-Harvard Square Mayfair

Donna and I left the Harvard Square Mayfair early to go to the Park Street Church in Boston. She's thrilled with the dress she got, which is like a sarong. I'll note that I did in fact see one of the renowned Sidewalk Sam chalk drawings, which was an imitation of a Cezanne, with Cezanne's name on top. She has a thing for yogurt when she's there. Donna sang beautifully in Church- better than ever. The honest thing to do would be to type in the Lord's Prayer, Pater Noster, as it is given at Park Street, so that you would know what I disagree with, or what I don't adopt rather- but I do listen while I'm there when it is repeated collectively. Our Father, who art in heaven; Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our coming day's bread; And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; And lead us not into trial, but deliver us from the Evil One, For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever, Amen. Personally, that's not the Lord's Prayer, tentatively, I doubt skeptically its from the Latin. Remember it appears twice in the Bible- once as a doxology and it is in Matthew and Luke if I remember correctly. Personally, I think when we adopted the Bible, or when it "spread", for one thing, Old English had already become affected by Norse, properly, that the Norman Conquest wasn't the first time that they had really met, therefore Latin is the standard. More importantly, in the Lord's prayer- Lead us not into Temptation, but Deliver us from Evil, means "keep us free from Sin", and therefore Keep the paths of the Lord Strait, with an emphasis on the Kingdom of Christ, as a prince-figure sent to earth to heal the sick and perform miracles. It to me is serious, but I'm agnostic and socially-agnostic. I'm more pleased that Donna wanted to attend the service, that it was something she wanted to do and felt like doing and that I could be with her. [(The phrase "Evil one" is a little goody-goody), but we are little too modern as a society, for one thing a President happened to resign, and a vice-president may have also resigned to put it apatheticly; we are a little cautious about whether an enemy of Christ stole the soul of Elvis Presley while he was just out there trying to enjoy the sun.) Are they changing the prayer to keep the modern Baptitst church happy? It's probably damn hard to impeach a Mormon, isn't it.] No, I don't believe the Protestant church should accept a "personification of Evil", call him Dracula, so some true believer doesn't have a nervous breakdown at the use of a biblical name. In regard to the Pope, there may have been a little compromise on the theory of the believe in Sin. But, I believe in beauty, and above all, seeing it. I did introduce myself to the Minister, and he asked my first name. I don't know why but we got into a discussion about my having grown up near Gordon-Conwell, actually when it was a Carmelite, it was the adjacent property. Gordon Conwell Seminary was a Carmelite when I was in nursery school and elementary school. And then I said to him, "Well, no. I came hear to listen to you. I'm here to see you-you went to Harvard didn't you. That's what I am to think from the way you write."

Boston- Copley Square, May-Dinner at B.U West three nights this week

Boston

I wanted to make love tonight before writing and now its after midnight, but qucikly.

We have had dinner three nights in a row this week at B.U. West, and my idea was to walk through the common, visit the swans, walk through Copley Square and then have dinner, but we had dinner first.
As strange as it would seem, we usually watch the news near B.U. when there. This afternoon, she overrode my idea and we went to dinner first. We watched CNN, which is how we spent Patriot's Day. Copley Square happenned to again be on CNN this time, so I kept the original idea. When we got there the same to anchorwomen we were watching on television were still there. Usually we visit Marsh Chapel, but this time we went to Trinity and Donna took a raincheck on a tour of the church
 (I don't really see Trinity as a museum, and I only casually mention I was in the basement a long time ago with Steven Tyler, the lead vocalist, I think the same year that I talked to  Livingston Taylor at the Garden Street Church--but I said that we could tour the church and go in and she could pray....I'm not rambling, Daltrey "waved back" to me right in front of Boston Public Library near the subway years later...but its late and she and I  been together all night.)
So Donna got to see two television journalists, which was part of her major in college and we spent the afternoon that would have been with the Swans and the swanboats walking past the statue of  John Singleton Copley. I can't find a picture of Trinity this late at night, so I quickly add a map.
The poetry of it I tried to explain was that it was about innocent people and other people that were unharmed left pictures of Jesus, so I said that in part was the theory of Jesus and arriving at a good thought or feeling, or a thought of goodness. I also tried to explain that prayer was ok because we were near there that afternoon without telling her that we we near both B.U and M.I.T and it would better to write a prose description of the latter, that she didn't see the helicopters at midnight going toward the University and that I wouldn't tell her with my voice that "a barrage of sirens" could be heard going towards M.I.T,( that she didn't really hear, although I know I did) if  I could put it into short story.

I'm tired from making love and its late.
