Limitations


Ecclesiastes 7:23 

23 I have examined all this by wisdom;
I said, “I am determined to comprehend this”—but it was beyond my grasp.

 

Limitations.

 

Limitations set in time.

Are they really in control?

Life and death … just sublime

in their setting as a whole.

 

Can one die before his time?

Or can one live in just one dimension

Without guidance and outside rhyme

or simple reason's comprehension?
