Suffering and Peace... and the stuff that lies between.




Been fighting the demons for awhile, so now I am much more aware. Used to run run run run far away. Easier than putting up shields and swords. Steady on the rock is harder than floating on the sand. I don't care what they say. The pains and fears have only opened my dirt covered eyes to the few things that ring true in this celestial ball/junkyard. When stars shine bright, there seems to be no care in the world. When the clouds cover them for days and weeks, we feel like we are missing something. Joy? Peace? The warmth of the sun? Yet, we don't know that it is the absence of something that makes us hidden in the dark. So we search and search and search and we find nothing. Sometimes we realize that the light is gone, but we still can't bring it back. So we study, and hope, and look to the sky until the day that the sun burns through the overcast and brings us the sweetness of life. Amen to all that is a particle of God. The universe is too vast for our understanding. sit down, shut up. A little pain never hurt anybody who never believed it was hurting them.
