a trash-bag of thoughts and things that swim in the mind of a wandering fool-for-Christ, a.k.a. taong-grasa-para-kay-Kristo wannabe... "If indeed aspiring to be free and happy and deliberately poor, simple, unfit for career advancement, and just a mere human being who is fully aware of his being so is really a case for the asylum, then please count me in! This is what being a fool-for-Christ truly means! I would willingly forgo a leg and an arm to even get anywhere near being one!"

Litany of the Taong-Grasa
Lord,
Make me a fool, be my wisdom.
Make me a beggar, be my sustenance.
Make me a loser, be my victory.
Make me a dog, be my master.
Make me an eyesore, be my beauty.
Make me a weakling, be my fortress.
Make me a vagabond, be my home.
Make me a wound, be my balm.
Make me a disease, be my medicine.
Make me a trash, be my scavenger.
Make me succumb for breath and be for me, fresh air.
Make me stammer and lost for words, and be for me, eloquence.
Make me a paralytic whenever I attempt to foolishly prove anything on my own,
so you can knock me on the head, and bring me back on my feet.
O make of me whatever you fancy,
and discard me just as quickly when you're done.
That I may rejoice immensely,
in blessed anonymity!
