Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own understanding.
6 Acknowledge him in all your ways,
and he will make your paths straight.
In wonder
How great a distance that I still have to travel?
The road I travel now I’m following backwards
Looking for beginnings before I hear the gavel
As my time is ending in my movement wayward
Where did it all start – in dreams of yesterday?
Who cares but me – what will befall me now?
What was my part in this offensive display?
Is it dissatisfaction that conquered me somehow?
Pointing every finger, my own and the ones borrowed
At everyone in sight that I really want to blame
Thoughts always linger and bring self-imposed sorrow
To my every plight like life is just a game
Jan Wienen
