stay safe, stay sane

WE LIVE IN A MYSTERY.

I TELL YOU WHAT WORKS FOR ME

AS BEST AS I CAN SEE.

BUT LIFE MAKES FOOLS OF US ALL.

I need to repeat that often

should anybody read this.

I'm here to share my life.

Forgive me, if I preach.

I wake up every morning.

Tha battle begins very soon.

I try to preserve my life,

forgetting that I'm alright.

If only I had enough faith

to believe that I'm alright,

that Mary has my back,

that Jesus is always with me.

And so, the Mass online,

the rosary when I wake up,

the coffee while I pray it,

then finally, I eat

(oatmeal) -

these are the tools I use.

And I'm reminded of what Jesus said:

Luke 17:7-10.

It might seem harsh at first,

but as Bob Dylan wrote,

you're gonna hafta serve somebody.

Who do you serve?

How goes it with your heart?

You serve Satan and go insane.

You serve Jesus,

get your mind off yourself,

for awhile, receive his grace -

(that's all he wants to give, after all) -

then you may eat and stay sane.
