"Fallow"

Here is a nice thing that my good pal Josh Darnit (A.K.A. JD) wrote. It's pretty great I think.



.. so i stop turning over
the exhausted, faded earth of my mind
because answers are failing to bloom
i let my thoughts and emotions go
quietly decompose into fallow stillness

and after this rest, after this waiting
i trust my life to grow
as never before
brought to season and reward
by His strong, scarred hand...

for now it is time to waitlet peace fall down,
a white blanket of snow
yet all the while letting an earthy,
profound, divine love grow
deep and rich in my frail heart

Josh Darnit is the coolest name ever.

"Hi, my name is Josh Darnit."
"Gosh darn it?"
"No, it's Josh Darnit."
"What is?"
"My name."
"I don't get it."
"My name is Josh, alright?"
"Ok, nice to meet you Josh."
"Hi."
"What's your last name?"
"..."
"Do you have a last name?"
"Darnit!"
"What's wrong? What did I say?"
"IT'S JOSHUA DARNIT!"
"Well, you said Josh! How am I supposed to know to say Joshua?"
"MY NAME... IS JOSHUA... DARNIT!"
"Look, Joshua, if you don't want to tell me your last name, that's fine. I don't really care anyway."

[Another blind date gone wrong for Josh Darnit]

Come on now, you know that story isn't true, I would have said "uglier" not "uglyer" -- when speaking, my spelling is flawless.
