The Last Thought

This is what we do. Put one foot forward and then the other. Lift our eyes to the snarl and the smile of the world once more. Think. Act. Feel. Add our little consequence to the tides of good and evil that flood and drain the world. Drag our shadowed crosses to the hope of another night. Push our brave heart to the promise of a new day. With love: the passionate search for the truth other than our own. With longing: the pure, ineffable yearning to be saved. For so long as fate keeps waiting, we live on. God help us. God forgive us. We live on...
