Reading through some old journals, I came across the following. Can't remember if I have posted it before, but it can stand to be duplicated. Interesting how old words can remind you of the surge of life that a few moments brought...
"Everything goes by so quickly in life. Sometimes I feel as though I'm moving in slow motion, but in other moments, my body flies into orbit, leaving my head spinning, confused and wondering what just happened. This life is surreal-its events and its people, the question of what is or is not important- I do not understand it all. Life is a rubix cube, meant to be color coded but impossible to coordinate. It is a mystery that I may never solve, a code that might not be meant to crack.
Somehow, in the midst of all uncertainties, I find myself OK with the idea that I know nothing. I have come to realize that some things were not made to make sense, while others make so much sense that your heart aches with frustration and burns with passion. Why do I torture myself with empty thoughts that go on forever? They never accomplish any sort of glory and they do not help me sleep peacefully. No...My goal is to find solace in the smallest of creation's details. It is in the particles of dust under my feet, I think, that intelligence rests. Whoever thought to create matter as 'insignificant' as dirt? Yet, it is understood that without it there would be no man. There it is-the undeniable cycle of wonder that invades our minds. It is inescapable, and whether we give into its story or not, we can never hide from its unnerving yet calm tap on our hearts. As it quietly dances through the breeze, we are reminded that this strangely familiar life will one day be unraveled; It is in that moment that the color blocks will become complete, leaving no room for doubt or confusion. Then will my head become still, falling in sink with my body and I will see clearly all that stands before me with untainted vision...In the fullness of glory."
I desire to be as clear headed every day. Rip me from unwelcome chains of stress and bathe me in your peace, Oh God.
