russian love poems in russian
I am Ash Wednesday in my mind that night. A solemn service, I note the words of The Book of Common Prayer:
God Almighty, you have created us from the dust of the earth: Make these ashes May be for us a sign of our mortality and penitence, that May we remember that only by your gracious gift that we give everlasing life through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
Monday evening 5 hours, I go to my church in Mill Valley, California, United States and then pray what is called the evening prayer. The Book of Common Prayer was used in this office every day like Ash Wednesday. Often, when I lead the prayer, I start Monday with this:
The Lord bless us you and keep us. Amen.
The Lord make his face shine upon us and have mercy on us. Amen.
The Lord turn his face towards us and gives us peace. Amen.
I think the above prayer for Lent, as I do in all seasons. But there is another dimension for Lent, because God does love us and we look to him, sometimes without our knowing or being able to turn.
This afternoon I started thinking, this poem I write. The poem follows this brief introduction, came to mind and so he wrote himself, first project.

Omens say more winter days
The cold weather here in California.
Ash Wednesday is coming
groundhog failed to show.
The omens say more in winter
and the cold days —
with their rain – I'll go
to be marked as Christ.
This pilgrimage began
for me for Tuesday
before Wednesday. Watch
I do seasons
I am the Christ, poor, chaste.
I continue my journey.
Peter Menkin
The seasons help me in my own life, and living life faith. Sometimes I find an acquaintance or a neighbor who thinks that Christmas is the most important, uplifting, joyful and special all season. I disagree because I think it's Easter. However, my neighbor in this case, it lacks the "vacation", and the feast, "" Epiphany since after Christmas. And here we are again tonight as I write these words.
I have a new cat to the Epiphany, and although I am tempted to name her because Epiphany is in that season I have adopted his name is Tascha. It is a pet Blue Russian who lived with Mary Dee Rickard in Lincoln, California United States since the age of 5 months when she was rescued by Mary Dee.
I have officially adopted More of his Pedigree Cat Rescue in Northern California and the days of heavy rain, the day after the big storm of winter 2007, January 4, 2008, reduced at home. I am writing this to tell you my new cat one years old, and also to say that it is a reminder to me of the Epiphany, 2007 when I was learning about Christ again and began more frequent prayers for the animals. Animals are creatures of God and my church We have a special day in May we bring pets and blessed him.
I hope you like my new poem. And if you want to see pictures of Tascha, chat, go to http://www.flickr.com and search on my name "Peter Menkin" to see many pictures of my new pet. I think you'll like the legends, too.
Here I'll share with you a little most of the wonderful and magnificent words of the Office of Ash Wednesday, as I know. I edited it a little sense in selecting only the citation in its entirety.
The celebrant says:
I urge you, therefore, on behalf of the Church, the celebration of a holy Lent, by self-examination and penitence, by prayer, fasting and sacrifice, and reading and meditating on God Holy Word. And, to quote the straight path of repentance, and as a mark of our mortal nature, we now kneeling before the Lord, our Creator and Redeemer.
