it's that time of the dodecade again...

They're big, slow, dim-witted, and LOUD -- basically, the Siegfried and Brünnhilde of the insect world. :P Still, there's something delightfully nostalgic about seeing them again after all these years. Besides, is there anything that says "summer" quite as emphatically as a symphony of cicadas?

They're delightful company, and they don't take up that much space. Can't wait for the little ones to appear. :)

ora

De profundis clamavi ad Te, Domine.

Domine exaudi vocem meam. Fiant aures
Tuae intendentes in vocem deprecationis meae.

Si iniquitates observaveris Domine:
Domine quis sustinebit?

Quia apud Te propitiatio est:
Et propter legem Tuam sustinui Te Domine.

Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus;
Speravit anima mea in Domino.

A custodia matutina usque ad noctem
Speret Israël in Domino.

Qui apud Dominum misericordia:
Et copiosa apud eum redemptio.

Et ipse redimet Israël ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus.
