F[air]

head in a fog
body like a log
exhaling smog
[still i blog]

--Air

Lack of AIR
doesn't seem
FAIR

but I DARE say that FAIR is a matter of perception

SO.

not wanting to face deception....

I hand over my perception

to the Maker of AIR
of FAIR

on whom I should cast all my CARE

:::
:::

As my body continues to attack me
I will wait
TRUST
hold on

Because you love me.

You work everything for good.

He spoke the word that healed you,
that pulled you back from the brink of death.

So thank GOD for His marvelous love,
for His miracle mercy to the children He loves.

of eggs & perfection

"The first job each morning consists simply in shoving them [all your wishes and hope] back; in listening to that other voice...letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in. Standing back from all your natural fussings and frettings; coming in out of the wind.

We can only do it for moments at first. But from those moments the new sort of life will be spreading through our system... When He said 'Be perfect,' He meant it.

It is hard; but the sort of compromise we are all hankering after is harder--in fact, it is impossible.

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg.

We are all like eggs are present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad."

-C. S. Lewis
