Wisdom of the ages...quote by Julian Ayrs!

The wisdom of the ages

But,

a cry in the wilderness

to the highly-evolved

few

Gone long before

us

And,

Beyond the edges

of the

Universe

on beams

of intelligent

light
they await
Mankind's arrival
too

Mark Kelly...right stuff astronaut ponders God's plan! Existence fated, he says!

"I never use to believe in fate," Astronaut Mark Kelly - the husband of shooting victim Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz) - confessed at a prayer meeting.

According to Kelly, the minutes used to just tick by, with nary a thought about the creator.

However, in the wake of the shocking events which unfolded last month in Arizona, Kelly admitted on-camera at the podium to a rapt audience yesterday, that he has taken pause since to consider that there is such a thing as fate and destiny.

"I've been thinking lately that there must be a God and that he has a plan," the Astronaut humbly announced to ciizens of the world in so many words.

In sum, he stated his belief that something good will come of that fateful tragedy, in the final analysis.

Indeed, Kelly - who intends to take flight again in space in the near future - was bang on in his musings.

The truth of the matter is that we are not unlike actors in a play who appear on stage.

But, in the instant case of precious life itself, God's invisible hand directs all the action - the entrances, the dramas, the intrigues, and even the laughter - before our final bows on this mortal coil.

In the duration, sentient beings must pray that they be guided - and have faith in the Lord's decisions - although they are often in the dark about the nature (and wisdom) of his overall plan.

Amen!

The Awakening...prose by Julian Ayrs!

What fog is this

Slowly lifting

That cast mystical spell

O’er beams of light

that

Awaken?

On Orchid petal

Softly flutter

Though,

rolling thunder

still beckons

The earth

Spills forth all its bounty

As fleet of foot

humbly bow
to Nature’s awesome
majesty

Divine Intervention...when the invisible hand of God appears!

Occasionally, there are moments in an individual's life when the daily trials and tribulations are bound to drag the soul down.

But, just when there appears to be no hope, the invisible hand of the Lord appears and sets things right.

For example, the other day I took a jaunt down to a government agency - in an emergency situation - to obtain an important legal document.

About a half-hour-or-so later, after I was deep in a long queue that snaked out the door, it suddenly dawned on me that I might be a few dollars short of a transaction fee in the event a clerk rejected my plastic.

Should I get out of line, dash off to an ATM, and return to the end of the line?

"Have faith," my inner voice whispered.

After a brief stint waiting in the main line, an employee strode up and quizzed me about the nature of visit.

At this point, she plucked up a ticket from a machine nearby, and waved me to a corner on the other side of the facility to wait for my number to be called out.

About sixty individuals were scratching and yawning ahead of me, so I adjusted my mind-set to meet the demands of the long haul ahead.

Sure enough - when I finally slipped into my seat across from the calm, cool, and collected data processor - I was informed there would be a $8.75 processing fee for the permit I was seeking.

Uh-huh.

As I expected, Murhphy's Law chose to rear its ugly head.

Out of all the credit cards and debit cards accepted - wouldn't 'ya know it - mine was on the strictly taboo list!

"I do have some cash on me," I chirped as cheerfully as possible.

"How much," the official asked dryly.

"About $7.00," I responded, as I squirmed in my seat uncomfortably.

My eyes went wide when he motioned to me to hand over the cash, at which point, he reached into his upper left pocket for his wallet.

In about two seconds flat, he slipped a couple of crisp bills out of his elegant billfold, and co-mingled it with my own.

I tried to object, but he silenced me.

Then, something quite inexplicable happened.

As I turned my eyes downward to scoop up the papers on the desk, I suddenly noticed that two prayer cards had slipped out of my shoulder bag, and fallen face up.

The images of the Virgin Mary and Christ were gazing in my direction bathed in a dazzling white light!

I was stunned for a moment or two.

When I turned back in the direction of the employee, his eyes spoke volumes to me.

The Lord sent me an Angel in my hour of need.

In the scenario that was destined to unfold, what were the odds (or chances) that after a two-hour wait, the computer would randomly assign me to a compassionate individual with a kind and generous spirit?

"I am so fortunate to have been sent to your cubicle," I blurted out almost reverently.

I can recall a handful of incidents I witnessed over the years - where a "by the book" up-tight bureaucrat - wouldn't budge an inch in a similar situation.

As I was about to stroll off with the paperwork, I was taken aback, when he expressed concern about my well-being beyond the confines of the hectic mundane office environment.

"Are you okay? Will you be able to get back to where you're staying without any problems?"

I just about choked up.

Clearly, the invisible hand of the Lord, was at work.

"Bless you," I found myself uttering up as I bowed my head in respect.

Today, whenever I am in doubt - or uncertain about the future - I place my faith in God.

He appears in the humblest of places, after all.
