life spent sitting
staring out the window
watching the fog fog by
contemplating the precipitation of this precipitation
waiting for some One to come and lift our foggy minds high
only a few of us realize
our God-given prerogative:
to wander out into the mist
and come out dry
and
full of joy

When I see you again, you’ll be full of joy, and it will be a joy no one can rob from you. You’ll no longer be so full of questions.
John 16:22
