The Control Of Man And The Chaos of God

    I am a person with a mind, hence with thoughts, hence with ideas, hence with anxieties. My coping mechanism is to think of a plan and another plan as backup, and a dozen of other backup plans for my backup plan. I like to be in control. I like to calculate the odds and the evens.

We dream of you  With sunlight in our eyes And rain in our hearts.  We search for you Through a telescope,  For you are far more infinite than the universe.  Somehow if we're lucky,  We'll catch a glimpse of your shooting star. We look for you  Through a microscope, For you are there  In the blood vessels of life,  In the branches of existence,  In the minute details,  In the silent cries.  We long for you With hurt in our eyes And hope in our hearts.
