Distance

Time is a swirling menace. Changing more rapidly as it drudges along. Yet, time is not the same for everyone. It comes and goes. It replenishes and destroys. It allows hardened hearts to be softened and causes hatred to go on forever in the hearts of many. Time reels us in like lofty merchants. We flourish in the glory of youth and possibility. We lament at the perils of the age and laugh at our inability to secure the future.

Millions die with thirsty blood. A thought of change and endurance, wiped out by careless desire. Have mercy Lord, drawing near to you. Beauty not forgotten in rage. Help those in need. Listen to your brother, cherrish your sister. Hang on to the promise. Distance is strength. Life comes rushing as a mighty wave and then subsides along the beach. Peace will fill your varied thoughts. And love will guide brokeness with gentle disregard.

Eat more hot dogs today than you did yesterday. Ball Park Franks. (if you can handle it)
