I Believe In. . . (Contest / I believe in....)

I Believe In. . . (Contest / I believe in....) I believe in sought-silence to enlighten. To refine as I sit near a silver topped river. Tranquil, I recline under a weeping willow. Not a widow at this time. Still, I wonder of such things of woe and evil inclined... I gaze upwards through long, narrow, light-green leaves for answers not designed to deceive as I begin to recall: weeping willows are tolerant of many type soils. Healthy and hardy: Not really needed fertilizer at all. Though often bothered by persistent pest and disease issues, their beauty I receive as to other nature lovers called. Targeted spraying helps alleviate their issues. Though, green leaves turning yellow are considered 'normal' in the fall... All around I see evidence of a Creator caring: A sun brilliant available to even those violent. Engaged in warring. Seeking 'blood' in constant 'brawls'. Yet, this 'King of Eternity' has set a time limit to ending wickedness. A 'day of vengeance' it is 'righteously' called. To the 'meek' a time of salvation. Granted deliverance in a way of awe. Whereas, for the 'wicked' a day of destruction. To a 'majority' it will befall... *** “Go in through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it." Matt. 7:13, 14. *** Our way of worship 'true' or 'false'. A death-dealing poison? Or an enlightening-- Luminol... *** Under my 'weeping-willow' wondrously enthralled I contemplate Thomas Carlyle's quotes: "Speech is human, silence is divine, yet also brutish and dead: therefore we must learn both arts." "That there should one Man die ignorant who had capacity for Knowledge, this I call a tragedy." Withal... Certainly.
