To What End?????

August 2, 2020

I retired two years and one day ago. Today I feel on the verge of something dark and vast. I approach but do not enter. It is always waiting, patient, unrelenting, eternal. My unease is permanent. My alienation profound. What a ridiculous existence we are forced to endure. the little details of a meaningless life seem so pitiful and pathetic against the tapestry of the night sky.

To what end? To what end do we journey? It seems a pointless trip filled with repetition and punctuated with constant irritation. The anguish is complete and sanity is not assured.

A friend, a minister, died of Covid 19 early yesterday morning. The prayers of his congregation all for naught. God has his own plan, they will say.

Yes, he does.
