"The gods are all mad, little pig, we are merely pieces on the board, they play with abandon." A quote from my interpretation of Merlin, to young Arthur.
Remember, yes indeed, the gods are real. Though, they are mad, capricious, duplicitous, selfish...
We cannot trust them.
GOD, however, the creator is another matter.
GOD, is beyond real. HE is not insane or cruel, He is Love.
Will you ever love again?
My friend, why else do you think you are here, alive?
The amount of comments you’ve left that I’ve read and found the need to write down so I can read again at will is innumerable at this point. And speaking of points, you make one worth sitting with. I struggle with feeling alive. Im not sure if I’m supposed to still be here or if I’m accidentally still on the ride? But if it’s not an accident then that is a great reminder and something to take solace in. Thank you.
Many years of waiting. Years of wanting things to go better. Asking if I am doing something I should stop doing. Asking if I am not doing I should be doing. Asking if I am being punished. I pray about these matters very often. What I receive is, no, I am not sinning by commission nor by omission, and I am not being punished. Yes, the waiting has purpose, is meaningful, is intentional. Yes, it is endurable, but it isn't easy. I know it isn't. You know it isn't. God knows it isn't. I don't really have very much to offer by way of further guidance, except that it is important to remember that they also serve who only stand and wait. There are a number of applicable and related verses in support of this idea. One that might be of some inspiration is 1 Samuel 30:21–25 of which I am reminded from time to time. I believe it is okay to ask for more protection during the time of waiting. It can be difficult to endure while suffering.
Thank you for your poem today and for the link to your "Lucky Strikes" song. Your words help many souls.
Your words help many souls too, especially this comment. Your prayers sound identical to mine and they’ve been that way for a long time. Thank you for guidance, you and Joyce have both given me some reading to do tonight. Thank you. May we both emerge back into the full light of life. 🙏💚
That's an "old" joke about Florida, with all its nearer-to-death retirees who moved there 😅
"Lucky Strikes" . . . clearly, the "strikes" means the song is about baseball, which is why you have the baseball bat. Totally appropriate. Silly YouTube!
Omg I had no idea regarding Florida! I miss Florida so much. And lucky strikes in this song is actually a reference to the cigarettes - two particularly malicious creatures who both smoked lucky strikes is what inspired this song - never realized how fitting the baseball bat would be in that sense. I hope you’re having a beautiful Sunday 🙏💚🙏

You are not an accident.
You are an intentional creation, known before time existed, loved from, through, eternity.
You are here intentionally, with a purpose.
To love and be loved.
The weight and pain in your heart, the pain you feel looking at this burning world is because,
GOD is bringing your heart to life, you feel the agony of the world.
There is only one solution,
To love.
It's a choice you can make.
What hurts is not only the pain of the world,
There's also the pain of the Love GOD has breathed into your heart, Love that must be expressed, shared, given away.
Aside from GOD, there is only one thing without limit, Love.
Actually , GOD is, the personification of Love.
Love is limitless, Love is Eternal, Love is the reason, the source, the cause, the purpose.
Isaiah 60:22: “… I, the Lord, will make it happen” 💙🙏🤗🥰
Thank you - I will read that when I get to my Bible tonight. Much love to you Joyce I hope you’re having a beautiful Sunday 🙏💚
Isaiah is the one where I found Hope. Praying for you, my dear Tess, and sending you much love and big hugs 💙🙏🤗🥰

You’re welcome. May God bless you and keep you safe. Amen.
May God bless you and provide you everything you need. Amen
