Shake the dust

We were taught in Sunday School to shake the dust and move on...


Poem Artwork

When you feel unwanted
When you sense unease
Just shake the dust
From your shoes or boots
And let off a good sneeze
Go wherever you want to
But have the sense to depart
When you are ridiculed and maligned
Head for that door
Save your big old heart

Short, but to a beautiful point. A sneeze can clear out the cobwebs, and walking shoes can diffuse.

No No No AD is an artist's safe haven...thanks for caring! Another site I frequent has some questionable characters on it though and that is where this message got its inspiration.

Wonderful advice from a wonderful poet lady..
We use to pitch pennies against the wall;
whomever's penny got closest won the money before
the Sunday school teacher got there.
I guess we did too much of what we wanted..
bad boy's, bad boy's, is bad boys...
Lurve ya!
Happy time change day!

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
