Song of Deborah: No more EA

Musing on life, work - enterprise architecture and family. The title comes from the history of my name I found in a wikipedia extract: Deborah was a prophetess and the fourth, and the only female, Judge of pre-monarchic Israel in the Old Testament (Tanakh). Her story is told twice, in chapters 4 and 5 of Judges. Judges 5 gives this same story in poetic form. This passage, often called The Song of Deborah, may date to as early as the 8th century BC, which would make it one of the oldest passages of the Bible and the earliest extant sample of Hebrew poetry. It is also significant because it is one of the oldest passages that portrays fighting women. The account is interesting in that Deborah is portrayed as strong independent women. The poem may have been included in the Book of the Wars of the Lord mentioned in Numbers 21:14.

No more EA

I was very bored with writing about EA - the challanges and the people they never change. SO I have changed the name of my blog and I am going to continue to do something I luv and write poetry. Bear with me and hopefully I can become a mature blogging with posts full of witty things.
