Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Is Everything a Message

  
   Is everything a message
     A message we can comprehend

   Isn’t the universe unfathomable
     Aren’t we clueless about what God sends 

   A wildfire in California, a volcano in Iran
     Terror everywhere ~ Is the Messiah a madman  

  O, for the comfort of your arms
     Wherein there lies no harm

   Turn off my device, shut out the news 
      ~ Jerusalem’s besieged again, so are the Jews

sara Etgen-Baker October 24, 2025 at 5:47 PM I feel you, Gershon. What's happening is hard to comprehend -- sometimes I do shut off the news.

Joseph P. DiMino October 24, 2025 at 2:21 PM The weather, Natural and man made Catastrophes, all man's own doing. The very earth we inhabit is a manifestation of man's combined spiritual senses. Our heart-strings tuned to spiritual development. Could be a heaven on earth. Instead of the hell we persist in propagating. No one gets to eternal heaven without the rest of us. Distasteful as that seems on the service. Incomprehensible as that seems. Unfair as that seems.

Joe Maverick October 24, 2025 at 12:28 PM Truth in your words..Not comprehensive knowledge..Yet am I perfect..? By no means.' God tells us..Not me, not at all..You will find me When you seek me (with all your heart) And what then..? What will be your answer.? If He requests you do something.? What then.? Here I end.)
