Gratitude
An Ode to Misery
An ode to our dear friend, misery: Life is a monotonous drudgery, a sinuous, sentient maze that reveals sinister revelations, conniving contradictions to convince you life is worth living. It continuously creates credible, wondrous creatures, then tells you something sensuous and sensational is around the corner, you just need to go on a little farther, live a little longer, have another glass of wine. But life is deceptive, because something better rarely ever is. Then life repeats itself, repeats its beautiful lies, and we continue to believe. We are all just pendulous puppets of life’s power trip, as it controls our plight and misery with a smile, pulling our strings every chance it gets. Your equanimity wont matter, life’s treacherous lessons will leave you tremulous, alone and melancholy. Life will treat you churlishly, because life is miserable. Life will drag you into its trenches and dig its heinous claws into you, never allowing you to escape, not until deaths final surrender.

Untangle our Mess!
I woke early before daylight. This morning my head is full of prayers for my loved ones. I talk to God about each of them. I know my concerns are no surprise at all to Him, and that He is probably already actively working in our lives, weaving our lives into something that makes so much more sense from His point of view, which is so far above mine. (A beautiful full moon shines from out of the western sky with a huge golden circle around it to illuminate these thoughts in my heart.)
