The Three Fates

I have never met
an Atheist who
did not worship
something…

Nor, have I ever met
a man of faith, who
lived entirely by faith--
not having shelters of
acorns, a short distance
from his well of Wishing-
prayer…

And, likewise, not a writer
I know does not believe
in his or her own
omnipotence….

And some fool everybody, but first themselves. There is no greatness outside the expression of love -- for God and His man. Thank you SV..

I am smirking because I think you nailed all of us a bit in this last line.
