Sunday Call to Prayer for Motus
byVanderleunonMay 1, 2022
Half of the stalwart team at what was “Michelle Obama’s Mirror” is facing a very difficult passage:
MOTUS A.D.: A MOTUS Health Update We both have a long haul ahead of us. So I’m sure you will all understand that as we depart for the Great Lakes bunker, I will have to put the blog on hiatus. We will try to post a monthly update as my treatment/progress continues. It’s the best I can promise for now. The blog will still be here for you to congregate and continue to solve the world’s problems.
There are no words to thank you all for your support, prayers, good wishes and watchful care. All I can say is thank you, and acknowledge it is now out of my hands as I pray for strength and fortitude to make it through this. I know the road will be long, there will be clouds, but also sun on the other side.
Now I know what a “boob belt” is, and I am the wiser for this knowledge.

Change bites.
We do look to the only One who can save and heal.

Though you are very different from MOTUS, there is a sameness in the way you touch hearts and minds.
Thank you.

Many of the blogs I visit have their hosts and prominent commenters facing personal turmoil, serious health challenges, or have travelled to the end of their road. I won’t get them all in one cast but Jewel, Brock Townsend, Woodpile, and our ever-gracious host Gerard come immediately to mind. My prayers do more for me than the needy, I’m afraid, but that leaves question open so pray I will.
My best to MOTUS, the family, and friends. And to all who are suffer and are in need, my prayers are with you.
Although some of you motherfuckers could make a little effort to save yourselves; the survival thing is a tw0-way street, you know.

That last sentence. With a small rework, it would be a bumper sticker I’d put on my car. The rework would have to include “motherfuckers.”

Survival is a two-way street; try harder motherfuckers.
I’m here to help.

And your new last sentence. Not a bad bumper sticker either, as long as it has “motherfuckers” in it.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
