9. The opened sky

As I sit, I watch the stars in the sky, twinkling as they do. I watch time as it passes us by, and I wonder why. Each day we get older and older. Before we knew it, we were here at MC. Next blink, we will be in another place, another home with some stranger. I often wonder what will happen to me. They say that we must put our faith in God’s hands, but I still wonder what will happen to me. Will I die young or as a really old man. What will I accomplish in this life. The main thought I think is what is it like when we die.

Many question that we all have, and none can truly answer. I watch time flow over and over all of us. I watch it as it ages us to depletion. What if we did not believe in time? Wouldn’t that let us live longer here on earth? Who knows. The mind is very powerful indeed.

I often wonder about life. About time. About the world. In the end, aren’t we all alone. While I sit outside by the fire under the stars, my stars. I feel rather alone. Like an ant in an ant farm. Just here to be observed by some other thing. Except that I know God is always with me. Besides that, have you ever thought about how significant a person really is compared to the world. We may not mount up to much. It is not who we are but the decisions we make that define us as people.

I would have to say that every person is unique and everybody amounts to something in this world. Plus, it's not about the world. It's about God. I wouldn't worry about trying to be something in the world because you already mean way much more to God.

An interesting post. I think about these kind of things whenever I'm really bored or lonely.
