Stuff happens because it's supposed
to
or maybe not
it's kinda
fun
being a Catholic and a
Fatalist
on one hand you believe that you
control
your destiny
and at the
same
time you believe that you
can't
beliefs come into
conflict
all the time
does God have control over
everything
that will happen to me or
not?
does He just have
control
over the main things?
but
maybe I won't know what is a
main
thing or not until it
happens
then what is it that God is
responsible
for?
or is He
responsible
for nothing at all and it is
only
because of the belief of others before me
that
I feel God has everything
planned
out?
Is it a
sin
for me to think that things only
happen because they are supposed
to?
will God see that as a form of
blasphemy?
or will he see it as me trying to find where my
faith
lies?

"Noticing Nature" (1990) I wrote this in P7 (sixth-grade in Scotland).
The chirp of birds
From high and low
Animals going to and fro
The hustle of leaves
Under my feet
Sounds around me
Sounds soft and sweet
The chirp of birds
Near and far
The whirl of wind from afar
The flap of wings above me
The break of twigs below me
The woods have sounds I like to hear
Sounds from afarAnd some quite near

Clouds hover

Does it need to be followed?
Why is animal
Savagery
considered "natural"
When we are "evil" for the same thing?
Life goes on
Crash
Tumble, the
Up and

And, yet
It will end someday

Why does beauty
have

end?
And . . . Why can't
it go on alone
without
the
death and
destruction?
Yin and
Yang . . .?
Maybe . . .
Maybe not.
