The reasonings of mortals are unsure.
And our intentions unstable.
The restless ego is the lure.
And we wonder if all this is mere fable.

This tent of clay weighs down the teeming mind.
It is hard enough for us to work out what is on earth.
We see,  yet we are spiritually blind.
We cannot even work out our true worth.

It is laborious  to know what lies within our reach.
Who then can discover what is in the heavens.
We may preach.
But truly we are at sixes and sevens.

How can we ever know the intentions of God.
We are just too flawed.

…….

 

Unsure reasonings

unstable intentions

Are surely our lot
