Leda and the Swan

Been working on this for a bit. :)

Something brought to mind the story of Leda and the Swan not long ago, and I just had to make my own version. I was always kind of fascinated with the ticklish story... about the swan who crashed at her place and made himself at home there for awhile.
Seduced her,
ate pizza,
drank beer,
and watched the Olympics on TV.

But it's just a swan! Very innocuous creature...

Awesome-ness


I love them so XD ♥...

And shepherds we shall be,
for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,
our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
En nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti

I'm a purposeful walker, which is why I don't walk that much. I can overtake most people. The secret to staying cool in the tropics is apparently to putter slowly and don't bother making it somewhere early.

So I was walking the long pavement in the heat, and for some reason was thinking about the Saints. I was trying to come up with a song about them.
"...won't you please watch....
over...me.."

There was some guy ahead of me who got my attention. As I got closer, I noticed he had some unusual tattoo on his forearm. I walked more. It was a word. Walked more.
It said AEquitas.
He was like me!!
Oh my gosh...in this small two-star town there is also another budding Saint.

I didn't say anything, but I happily overtook him and continued my long march somewhere...


Most people can't, shouldn't, and aren't meant to be full-blown Saints. The brothers however, embody so much of ourselves and what all of us have thought of at one point or another, and in a way, they are real.

But it's always comforting knowing that the Saints are watching over you...

If you're one of us, feel free to give a shout. :D
