Ramblings about the general everyday.

I want to be profound here, but let's be honest...all anyone can do is just be. Life, with all its eccentricities and wonders, can be both beautiful and devastating. We seem to spend all our time looking for something or someone. And in the end, we still haven't found it or them.

I guess what I'm trying to get at here is that very little in life is a given. Change is constant and God is absolute. Christ is, was, and is to come. Other than that, what do we have?

We have what we are allowed: our choices, the breath that we are taking, our minds, and our hearts. We have ourselves, as much as that is possible.

Some might argue that we have others: those we call family, friend, or acquaintance.

But I look at them and say, do you really have them? Or are you just allowed their company for the time being? How well can you really know someone else if you can't fully come to know yourself?

We are on this earth for but an instant, such a short period of time that we don't even have a good comparison, a good analogy for that shortness.

So what will you do with your time? Who will you love? Where will you go?
