I ran across this when tossing old files -- not sure why I have it in some old papers. Don't remember who gave it to me, or how it landed there. It is written by Thomas Merton who I know nothing about, other than he was a Priest. But I like it...
My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do see the road ahead of me. I cannot for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, thought I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust you always though I amy seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils along.
Writing tally for today: Zippo. Except for a million rewrites at work. And that's not fiction, although the statistic of a million is. It felt like a million rewrites. But who follows statistics really? Definitely not Congress or they'd realize they realize they are just about to slam and lie their way into the biggest fib ever written - their 2,700 some pages of destructive fabrication of reality. The biggest fib ever written. Admittedly that's a fib writing that. But at least I admit when I exaggerate to the point of conscious lying. That legislation isn't the biggest fib ever. Because there's always that King of Lies, that guy whose head I'd lop off with my digital camera, whose whole government is a lie, a deadly one. But the central planners of Pelosi, Reid and Obama must make Kimmie J. Il proud; he's smiling right now, thinking, "My it's always nice to finally see my philosophical seeds taking root where and when you need I it the most. Finally those sweet savory seedlings of my Image are in D.C."
