Pursue the Lord with All Your Heart

If today is the end of the world

I only want to say

OK.

 

I spent a long time trying to understand destiny

how to use our time

and after reading J.R.R. Tolkien’s biography

I know how to use mine.

 

To be consumed with my deepest pursuit.

In his love of languages and ancient centuries

professorship and war

Middle-Earth was born

like he’s always been expected to write it.

 

What will emerge from getting lost in my dreams

but a very clear pathway to find it.
