☘️ March Of Time ☘️
It’s ☘️ Saint Patrick’s Day ☘️ and the time got away from me today. Between work and dinner and a couple of movies we wanted to see today, I nearly ran out of Hump Day for blogging on.
☘️ ‘Nuff Said ☘️
The Lord is greater than all: I have said enough. ~Saint Patrick
There’s a lot of crap going on in the news these days. Don’t worry about it.
Let go and let God
What more does anyone need to say?
☘️ Some Blarney For You ☘️
BLARNEY CASTLE & Blarney Stone mini-documentary & tour
Normally, I provide a musical interlude to my meandering thoughts. Unfortunately, I’m really tired and don’t have much to say. I’ll let this mini-documentary do the talking for me today. You’ll notice that Blarney Castle is the one I used in my title graphic today. That’s about all the creativity I can muster.
I had a lot of things to do today at work and I wanted to make something special for dinner. I came up with green deviled eggs like the ones that January Q Irontail foisted on Peter Cottontail in the classic Rankin & Bass seasonal special, Here Comes Peter Cottontail.
I dyed the yolk mixture green and even the whites were green. Well, after a 45 minute soak in a mixture of water, green food dye and some Rosemary essential oil, the whites came out a pale blue-green. Oh well, it was worth a try.
☘️ Deadly ☘️
Avarice is a deadly sin. ~Saint Patrick
I recently heard a podcast on writing Lovecraftian horror and it reminded me that I need to not only address The Conclave and their centuries of depravity but also of the creatures they’re summoning to grant themselves unnaturally long lives.
What Saint Patrick said actually addresses the moral peril that an avaricious person puts themselves in by focusing on gain more than on God.
However, it can be read another way. Avarice is also a deadly sin because the avaricious person is usually so obsessed with obtaining wealth, power and other sorts of personal gain that they will completely disregard the lives of others. They don’t care who they destroy as long as they obtain their desire.
Problem is, such desire for gain is endless. There’s always more to acquire. There’s always something someone else has that they’ll even kill to gain possession of. There’s genuinely never enough. Since they’re always grasping for more, there’s always more damage to be done.
That’s what makes these people so dangerous. There’s no end to their avarice and they don’t care who they sweep aside to get whatever they want. And if you think they’re awful (they are) the extradimensional entities they summon to obtain a pathetic kind of immortality are even worse.
At least they will be once I figure out how to frame them in the story.
I’m having difficulty keeping my eyes open. It’s been a very busy day and I must go hit the sheets. I hope you had an enjoyable St. Patrick’s Day. Erin 🇮🇪 Go 🇮🇪 Bragh!
