Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do…but how much love we put into that action.

The Geneva Suggestions, a group of Oozologists playing Alakazam’s Living Forgotten Realms Encounters Adventure League continue their adventure in the realm of Spelljammer committing war crimes. Escaping the Arena of Blood, they attack the Astral Elves, capturing the flagship and creating a coalition of forces to attack Xaryxis, the Astral Elves’ home world, to prevent the evil prince from ascending the throne and his father from attaining godhead.
Fewer players at the table meant that combat moved a lot faster. And I was able to do more damage knocking several characters unconscious multiple times!
The table snacks were once again on point with some amazing orange chocolate being this weeks highlight for me.
And this was the most amazing thing of the evening! Last week Brian and I had been arguing if there were 100 comics better then Umbrella Academy–this week Ryan made a list. An actual list. Handwritten. Of one hundred and one comics that are better then Umbrella Academy. Alakazam is the best comic shop and Ryan is a good damn AMERICAN institution. So Damn Good.

“serene enjoyment” they suck
pipes bones crumbled back§
night train whistles stars

round lumps of cells grow
up to love porridge later
become The Supremes§
lady I lost my
subway token we must part
it’s faster by air§
“but it’s our world”
tiny blue hands and green arms
your thought in my room§
sweet bouzouki sound
another syntax for heads
up to the aether§
in you the in moon
its rays entwined in my mind’s
hair hangs down right in§
viewing the dragon
there they ride slim through my dream
Carpaccio’s pair§
slow bloom inside you
the mnemonics of loving
incessant chatter§
far shore Ferris wheel
turning glowing humming love
in our lit-up heads§
switch them to sleep now
the flying foxes swarm out
great it’s flurry time§
wind rain you and me

All love on this earth involves choice. When, for example, a young man expresses his love to a young women and asks her to become his wife, he is not just making an affirmation of love, he is also negating his love for anyone else. In that one act by which he chooses her, he rejects all that is not her. There is no other real way in which to prove we love a thing than by choosing it in preference to something else. Word and signs of love may be, and often are, expressions of egotism or passion; but deeds are proofs of love. We can prove we love our Lord only by choosing Him in preference to anything else.
