”Mungu yuko kila mahali lakini anapoteza.” – Margaret Atwood<\/p>\n\n

Hivi majuzi nimekuwa nikijaribu zaidi kuliko hapo awali, hasa sasa miaka hamsini iliyopita, inazidi kufahamu ya kibofu changu na tezi zingine zinazoweza kudhoofika. Kujaribu kwa bidii kumpata Mungu, anzisha mara moja na kwa wote uhakika haupatikani popote pengine. Licha ya hatari hizo kuelekea tamaa ambayo imani inategemea. <\/p>\n\n

Mungu anajua ningependa kuendelea kuwa na tumaini licha ya kutokuwa na uhakika tezi, kupoteza nywele, bifocals. Akili yangu bado iko shwari, ingawa mara nyingi kupeperuka kama vile globe za kijani kibichi na kaharabu zinazorushwa juu baada ya dhoruba kwenye pwani ya Pasifiki. Huu ni ushahidi wa baadhi ya kutokuwepo, hufafanuliwa kwa umbali. Nyavu zilitoweka bila dalili ya samaki. Mamilioni ya globu hizi zinazovuma zimeepuka kusudi lao na kuelea katika bahari ya dunia, uwezekano wa kuwa huko milele. <\/p>\n\n

Kaa huru, drift rahisi kutumika kuwa sheria yangu-na kabla ya hapo wakati mdogo zaidi, Kuwa Cool. Sasa nadhani hakuna sheria inayofaa ulimwengu uliojawa na mamilioni ya mawazo na matamanio yaliyoepuka, pembe za majuto kusimama ndani, mchanga daima kati ya vidole vyako. Ninatazamia ufunuo fulani wa Mungu wa kuingia ndani hakika kama giza, basi mafumbo mwanga daima huona. <\/p>\n\n

Au hata kama vile upepo wa asubuhi unavyoegemea kupita hayfield, kuinua na kuinama nyasi zilizoiva. Wakati mwelekeo kama huo inatoa yenyewe kwenda huko nasema. Fuatilia tena lugha ya nuru, kujikwaa juu ya mungu runic katika sway yake mwenyewe. Bado kuna pembe ya kupumzika kusimama ndani, kupumzika kwa muda. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
