I wish I knew more words,
for I have many things yet to say.
As I gain understanding I understand only one thing:
I do not understand.
I sometimes find myself worrying about
the songs not yet written.
Truth
Truth is not the absence of falsehood.
But falsehood is always without truth.
Truth is not the absence of falsehood. If it were, then falsehood
would be greater than truth. For its presence or absence would
dictate where truth could be found. And if falsehood were greater
than truth,
then truth would be a lie.
Heart and Soul
Soul work is the strangest of labors.
For in it the worker dismantles himself.
Peace is not the absence of conflict,
it is the presence of God.
It is a sad truth to know that some
do not fare well while stretched upon the anvil of life.
Forgiveness is not an event, but a process.
It is accomplished not by great strides,
but by many quiet and faltering steps.
Anger is a solider who rises to defend
and protect that which we love.
Relationships
A pleasant smile is like the hand of a loved one
rousing a soul from slumber.
Though my lips could form every eloquent word known to man.
I would consider them useless if they could not kiss.
Eating is a spiritual rite. For in it we take that which is not of
our bodies
and we make it such. Therefore, it is no strange thing that good
friends
share a meal upon meeting. For they come together to take that from
each
other what is not part of them and make it such.
God
I choose to obey, not for the gains of obedience,
but because it is my calling.
The blessing of service is not in the rewards that may come,
but in the simple knowledge that I am serving.
If God were to make me either His ambassador to kings,
or His paper weight, I shall be equally content knowing
I am in the service of the Most High.
