day by day. thinking jimmy scott, not church. i like the songs of spiritual lift that melt the heart in the way of a cathedral but with wild life, spirit passion, free of the morbibund confines, day by day of a life lived like a crushed spirit indomitable, like jimmy scott.

follow thee more dearly

for jimmy scott, who survived the music business, and sang his angel song.

so changed

 late blossoms of the recalcitrant will

to love thee more dearly, wild watery god.
