Monday Medicine

9/6/10 The elephant that was sitting on my head has moved to my chest. A rhinoceros has invaded my “good” nostril. I feel like yuck. It is Monday---Labor Day Monday and I feel that meditating will require real labor. But….it is Monday and Monday is always for meditating. Besides, I have 150 flavors of psalms to choose from so it should be easy to find one for an ailing lady.

Psalm 71 came to mind again.

“…..Thou art my strong refuge,…..my mouth is filled with Thy praise….Do not cast me off in the time of old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.”
