Adversity and conflict
isn't
always
synonymous
to opportunity
It will forever be
a thorn
in my soul
Yet, that
bastard
has caused me
to not run away but
to run INTO
God
Sure there is adversity
in daily existence
that you need
to keep slugging with
in spite of
being bored
to death
And while
I am
busy living
I am also
busy getting
myself
distracted
to make that
daily
existence
bearable
at least
Nevertheless,
there
is always something
to be thankful
for:
sex
food
work
beautiful
family
being fucking
alive
and this art
that has
become my
saving grace
But there
is something
special
about those
nut-cracking
moments:
You let loose
of
your grasp
off yourself
and your
advantages
both tangible
and illusory
and find
yourself
clinging
instead
to the Rock
of Ages
Only when you
do so
can you
tap the
power
Power that
is greater
than
anything
earthly
or mortal
The kind of
power that
keeps the
galaxies
afloat to light
up
the vast
depth
of
nothingness
Adversity
causes
one to
improvise
It yells at
you
at the top
of
it’s lungs
to get the
fuck out
of the
ordinary
before you
succumb
and watch
the
best of you
die
without
seeing the
dawn break
But I haven’t
totally lost
yet
my sanity
by asking
fervently
for my
share of
perennial
uphill
goings
just to
always experience
God’s grand
deliverance
With much
supplication
I ask that
I would instead
meet
His
presence
everywhere
from highs
and lows
and most
especially
the mundane
