Free will


Wandering lights preserve their ancient interpretation,

driven by the realm of shapes in lawful sensation.

Odysseus through exalted ways and by great example lead,

earth given stars surpassing every deed.

All things in views and all things one hears,

and yet the light cannot penetrate to pierce.

Eternal providence foreknows thought and desire,

for there will be no freedom of will entire.

Occurrence of the event cannot be avoided,

false opinions missing direction pointed.

Secret signs of truth with love so great,

knowing already what it seeks from the eternal mate.

Ignorance discern the hidden form,

separating the truth in still and storm.

The blindness in operation human reasoning,

cannot approach immediate divine deepening.

It remains absolute and infringed by necessity,

until the exercise of skill becomes the clarity.

https://robertrittel.blogspot.com Living virtualistic through myself. The road I wanted to follow choose me and I can see the cosmos to know itself. I remember only moments where my actions manifested the belief of my passion, choosing my next universe through what I have learned in this one. My fears got lost in dreams, sensing what needed to be done with no thinking. I believe in fairy tales, especially with dragons and how to tame them. I do not need any strange faith to worship that celestial brilliance. Dismissing everything what insults my soul and faithful in those small things, because it is in them where our strength is.
