It's ANOTHER weird universe!!!!
 

In need of beauty and consolation tonight, I went to seek out a random bible verse generator to see what it can offer me that poetry can't.

It tells me the reason why I go to work every day, and though not the poetic beauty I was hoping for, it was, the practical beauty that I already am familiar with and am glad to know.

It has confirmed something that I have been feeling more and more strongly about over the years. Beautiful thoughts no matter how beautiful, if not put into action is but a sweet seed that will never come to fruit. But good actions, it is the root of a worthy life it gives shade and shelter, and spiritual fulfillness. The reward of a worthy act will always far exceed the joy of a beautiful thought.

I hope that I don't just stop at loving my brothers, but that I take steps to enrich the lives of those around me. For my definition of loving does not stop at kind thoughts, but good acts that will elevate, and through those I elevate, I elevate myself.



1 John 4:20-21

20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot [1] love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.

It's been half a year

Time passes, and I always feel like I have so much to update, but when it comes to actually penning it, I realize it is hard to put all those days into words.

No special insights this time, other than the fact that I just saw a sparrow chasing a rolling cupcake paper wrap down the slopes of Chinatown today and I feared for its life. And that in yesterday's news the fact that a man had hand copied out the entire King James Bible really made my day. I treasure these little things now. And perhaps it is coming to terms that in life, it is the small details that count.

It is the fact also that today, an old man in a Chinese bakery shuffled with his full cup of coffee and I didn't want to brush past him in my hurry because he reminded me of my father. Aiya....is it age? Or am I starting to become too easily emotional?
