From Psalm 130
bochomeansround:
If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins,
O Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness;
therefore you are feared.
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I put my hope.
My soul waits for the Lord

O Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
for with the Lord is unfailing...

A letter from Jesus to his Beloved, II
Dearly Beloved,
It has not been long since I last wrote to you; but I am writing to you again to encourage you. You have begun, with the aid of your Helper, to root out those weeds in your field. You’ve probably begun to notice that many of them have deep, strong roots, and that they are tangled and interconnected. Perhaps you’ve also noticed that your own hand planted many of the things...

A poem for the start of an adventure:
The road goes ever on and on,
down from the door where it began.

until it joins some larger way
where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
-Bilbo Baggins
