A question for the bride

I remember hearing about an old comic strip back in the days of St. Ed’s. Two guys are talking to each other, and one of them says he has a question for God. He wants to ask why God allows all of this poverty and war and suffering to exist in the world. And his friend says, ‘Well, why don’t you ask?’ The fellow shakes his head and says he is scared. When his friend asks why, he mutters, ‘I’m scared God will ask me the same question.’ Over and over, when I ask God why all of these injustices are allowed to exist in the world, I can feel the Spirit whisper to me, ‘You tell Me why we allow this to happen. You are My body, My hands, My feet.’

If you know my name

I would appreciate the occasional effort
because love is constant
even when you cannot feel it

Here's something for the records:
snippets of my unstructured thoughts,
nonsensical rants and grunts
and the occasional snapshot

I like to think I'm consistent,
but it's hard to stick to commitments

If you find something you like,
it's probably not mine
Everything is derivative - I just try too hard.

Maybe it’s just nonsensical
