IF SATAN HAD SAID SORRY

But pride made him defiant He traded my hope for his ego Now I walk through life unknown With doubt as my shadow. If Satan had said sorry Maybe God would still feel near And grace wouldn’t hang from a cross Paid in blood...

Suffering
Suffering How are you supposed to grow if you don’t suffer? If you don’t enjoy the pain, then you won’t be able to move forward. All the hard days are worth the results. Today is a new day to hurt even more. I remember having my first compliment. Be one with the iron and become...

Premium Member What does it mean to witness suffering and feel it burn inside you
What does it mean to witness suffering and feel it burn inside you, not as gentle empathy, but as a deep-rooted and screaming indictment? There is a boy who carries cement as I carry metaphors — without question, without choice, without allowing himself the luxury of another option, only with a resignation sculpted in silence. He is not a...

Samsara - May 7
Now quiet, settled, easy, leisurely through life’s affairs,—say, couched in everyday— and sipping being’s sweetest, freshest ray; Sunshine!, Sunshine! ‘midst winter’s coldest glee!

An inescapable alternation of gloom and cheer,(to be—and—not to be), wheeling circles and cycles—infernal,— recur, relapse, return...
