I believe the same is true with life in general. A 'mid-life crisis' has such negative connotations, but, is it better to live without examining where you have been and where you are going? It is not failure to struggle. The weight of your questioning was palpable. I think that it is what God wants...and expects of us. I thought this was amazing. posted by: babe4jesus55 (reply) post date: 11.09.06 (8:22 pm) Simply wonderful. I agree with Lori there. Can't learn anything until you ask a question. Sometimes the prof leads you figure it out for yourself. Finding those answers aren't always the most fun, but are definatly the most rewarding.

The intensity of our headlights focused so narrowly on our path, finding a road sign pointing at "FATE" and it does cause us to doubt - when our vision is obscured by a sign that seems to dominate our vista momentarily. Isn't it amazing how the landscape is populated by these signs and as we focus on them, they do seem to dominate? I mean isn't it incredible what stands behind the sign in your picture. The magnitude of the creation is so vastly superior to any sign dotting the landscape and yet our eyes are drawn to what is flashy and shiny and so insignificant while becoming distracted from what is immense and much more lasting, namely the mountains and earth beyond. Men are like fish are we not, Jesus makes this comparison long before I repeat the observation. We chase whatever is flashy and shiny and moving through the water or air if you prefer (the analogy does have its limits), still a good one though. I like your picture and your poem. I find them compelling. The signs are real and we cannot ignore them. They are painted in stark colors and blair out at us for attention - "pain" "divorce" "war" "murder" "cancer" "despair" "heartbreak" "fear" "loss" "death" "destruction". Do we choose to focus on the signs or instead, while acknowledging them, come to understand the vastness of the foundation upon which both we and they stand. The signs will fall, eventually, or we will pass them by and they will exist behind us, and sometimes we may have to plow right through them. My friend from South Texas used to admonish me with the admonishment of his father "Keep her between the fence posts" when driving. |
