The Journey of Man's Soul

God signs off on His handiwork releases into the world a human soul First inside the womb and then outside that soul begins to unfold For mankind yearns to be free, free of direction ignores all instruction as its sets sail Free of direction and of directions Freedom the goal, man’s Holy Grail With good luck comes wonder at creation, at a cosmos so awesome Though the journey leads, inevitably, to frustration, disappointment, unripened blossoms… Then the cruelest blow when eventually the unfolding process reverses The ramrod-straight frame folding in on itself as it rehearses its return to its Maker, Who delivered it here Who lets man search vainly for freedom and come up empty year after year ~ for only His Truth makes everything clear

De-cluttering is definitely the way to go, Joe.

Gershon, how very beautiful and profound, this so reminds me of Ecclesiastes. I put this in my favorites before I began my comment. I love it, especially the last line ' ~ for only His Truth makes everything clear'
