In our end is our beginning// In our time infinity 耶稣说【手扶着犁向后看的，不配进神的国。】 路加福音9：62 Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." Luke 9:62 In our death a resurrection// At the last a victory 你心若向饥饿的人发怜悯，是困苦的人得满足，你的光就必在黑暗中发现；你的幽暗必变如 正午 。以赛亚书58：10 "and if you spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday." Isaiah 58:10 Unrevealed until its season// Something God alone can see 因我活着就是基督，我死了就有益处。腓立比书1：21 "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21 Truth be told, I would love to die now. I am content as it is in the silence between one thought and the next. Yet the silence cannot hold. It cannot hold and I will not die but wait patiently for the Lord.

"In repentance and rest  is your salvation,      in quietness and trust  is your strength" Isaiah 30:15,NIV Home is the place.

Pablo Neruda, One Hundred Love Sonnets:XVII keyframe n. a moment that seemed innocuous at the time but ended up marking a diversion into a strange new era of your life—set in motion not by a series of jolting epiphanies but by tiny imperceptible differences between one ordinary day and the next  The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,/But I have promises to keep." Robert Frost, Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening "To look up-out,/ To do without./ To be now-here,/Stop inward peer."
