Minnesota Public Radio has a new sponsor: Luther Seminary in St. Paul, offering a free daily email called God Pause. (Sign up for it here if you're interested.)
Somehow, I couldn't help but hear that name a bit differently:

I LOVE your illustration!
Poetry paws in response, from The New Yorker on Jan 18, by Galway Kinnell:
Turkeys
Sometimes we saw shadows of gods
in the trees; silenced, we went on.
Sometimes the dog would bound off
over the snow, into the forest.
Sometimes a tree had twenty
or more black turkeys in it, each
seeming the size of a small black bear.
We remember them for their care
for their kind ever since we watched the big hen
in the very top of the tree shaking
load after load of apples down to the flock.
Sometimes I felt I would never
come out of the woods, I thought
its deeper darkness might absorb me
or feed me to the black turkeys
and I would cry out for the dog
and the dog would not answer.
