"I have seen everything in this meaningless life, including the death of good young people and the long life of wicked people. So don’t be too good or too wise! Why destroy yourself? On the other hand, don’t be too wicked either. Don’t be a fool! Why die before your time? Pay attention to these instructions, for anyone who fears God will avoid both extremes."
-Ecclesiastes 7:15-18
Nothing remains the same.
Acting as if everything will always be this way is at best insane or worst just being delusional...
I can see where life is, where it might have be and where it might possibly go...but there are factors...things beyond my scope and it is good.
It's...I think there can be goodness in being limited, in finite and a distinct beginning and end on this ridiculous world.
Everything can and will pass away...everything around me will fade...there is beauty to be found in the fading daylight...small brilliant flickers of light that are just as likely to pass by and fade without me seeing them...
That may be a part of life...or just part of the delusions.
Everything is fading.
Nothing lasts and yet here I am.
Feeling like a statistical anomaly and every inch of me is aching because of it.
I'm falling, falling and every failing,
and everything that is, will be and be...
But there is hope that the Love will outlast the night.
Every mummer of the heart
and sliver of pain in my body
are all pointing towards eternity,
a Kingdom with no beginning or end
just endless grace and peace.

Quote of the Day:
"What I really need is to get clear about what I must do, not what I must know, except insofar as knowledge must precede every act. What matters is to find a purpose, to see what it really is that God wills that I shall do; the crucial thing is to find a truth which is truth for me, to find the idea for which I am willing to live and die."
