"THERE DO EXIST ENQUIRING MINDS, which long for the truth of the heart, seek it, strive to solve the problems set by life, try to penetrate to the essence of things and phenomena and to penetrate into themselves. If a man reasons and thinks soundly, no matter which path he follows in solving these problems, he must inevitably arrive back at himself, and begin with the solution of the problem of what he is himself and what his place is in the world around him. For without this knowledge, he will have no focal point in his search. Socrates’ words, “Know thyself” remain for all those who seek true knowledge and being."

Lost Footing & God's Grace



i lost my footing
and
tumbled down 
Into a well of despair

 Alone
I could see nothing and no one there
After wallowing for a time
I remembered You
and
Reaching up into the void
called Your name

As You always do
 You lifted me out

~
Lost Footing and God's Grace
Put me firmly back in my place
