Artistic poem (my art/poem) about the old practice of washing the feet of ones' guests.
**************
Washed, Hair Dried
Humble, nobody gives a second thought ...
though they ought:
no rain, mind rots.
Simple, feet balance and keep one upright:
thanks to ankles,
shins, no bangles.
Imagine the weight our poor feet must carry.
Precious, My Lord, from His head to His feet.
Oil, water, wet ...
hair dry? You bet!
With no other way, bathed feet should convey
love flows deeply ...
pure and sweetly.
Feet are created equally--no spawn.
He washed my feet. Why shouldn't I wash His?
Christ kneeled, washed feet
in a heartbeat.
Why shouldn't I do as our Savior did?
I'm meek not proud--
to Christ I'm vowed.
We should never be too righteous to kneel.
For "he who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted" and "God gives grace to the humble but resists the proud." This is a profound poem about the dethronement of self and the crucifixion of PRIDE.

Now there is a Bible tr
“Vashti’s Daughter” delivers “The Whole Megillah”. The novel is rich, layered narrative that combines history, mystery, mysticism, time travel, previous lives, fact and fantasy and feminist reimagination into one compelling package.
We have been told from the pulpit that only men have been called to the leadership positions of the church. Uncovered truths and new translations have changed this perspective.
