Hopelessly Lost

God is like GPS.

He knows the map of your life even before you were born. He tells you when to turn right or when to turn left or if you should take the motorway or to take the exit right in two miles. Even if you deliberately choose to go your own way, He has alternate routes prepared and will reroute your course until you have reached your destination.

What are you waiting for?
Listen to your GPS device.
Pray.

Like a Carnival

Santa Monica Pier, California.

Life is at times like a carnival. Will you go ahead and choose the ride that suits your taste or would you rather just sit back and relax in the sand as everyone is having the time of their lives?

The More Loving One

by W.H. Auden

Looking up the stars, I know quite well

That, for all they care, I can go to hell

But on earth indifference is the least

We have to dread from man or beast

How should we like it were stars to burn

With a passion for us we cannot return?

If equal affection cannot be,

Let the more loving one be me

Admirer as I think I am

Of stars who do not give a damn,

I cannot, now I see them, say

I missed one terribly all day

Were all stars to disappear or die

I should learn to look at an empty sky

And feel its total dark sublime,

Though this might take me a little time
