Slightly disjoint...

It seems impossible to reconcile these discrepancies that are running around. If I could have the answer to one question, it would be, "Why is everything so different from what it appears?" I guess that's such a vague question you could never have it answered, but I'm talking about divine intervention here.

According to the Bible, at the start of his reign, Solomon the king went atop a mountain to pray. God saw his humility and said that he would grant him anything he asked for. An unbeatable army, vengeance against his father's enemies, power, wealth...anything he wanted. Solomon asked God for one thing and one thing only: wisdom. God gave it to him and was moved that Solomon had asked for something so wise in itself.

I need to find this mountain and ask God for the same thing...shiet.

I always get to thinking about how strange things are and how people have changed when I see a photograph. Like usual, this moment today was sparked by one and I must say that for all it's worth, I would give anything to know why things happened the way they did, who this person has turned into, and what, if any, are my chances of ever falling back into their favor.

I'm not wise man, but something tells me the chances are slim.

Go fig. But life does as life wants to. We all have the choice over how we react to the situation we're in. And it seems to me that I just need to suck it up and move on. Life's good, so why worry about the little things that are beyond your control.

God grant me the strength to change those things which I can, accept those which I cannot, and the wisdom to know the difference...
