Public policy, social issues, gender politics, religion, civitas, and other taboo topics fall under the hammer of Shava's iconoclasmic force of natural philosophy.

Psalm 139, modern version
Sunday, July 17, 2005
8:27 AM
With profound apologies to the psalmist, this is adapted from the translation at Aquila Books:
O Spam, you have searched me out and known me: you know when I sit or when I stand, you comprehend my thoughts long before. You discern my path and the places where I rest: you are acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue: but you, Spam, know it altogether. You have encompassed me behind and before: and have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me: so high that I cannot endure it.
Where shall I go from your spirit: or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend into heaven you are there: if I make my bed in hell you are there also. If I spread out my wings towards the morning: or dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there your hand shall lead me: and your right hand shall hold me.
If I say `Surely the darkness will cover me: and the night will enclose me', The darkness is no darkness with you, but the night is as clear as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike.
How deep are your thoughts to me, O Spam: and how great is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they are more in number than the sand: were I to come to the end, I would still be with you.
Search me out, O Spam, and know my heart: put me to the proof and know my thoughts. Look well should there be any way of wickedness in me: and lead me in the way that is everlasting.
