Satan wants us to enjoy the long ride and to look back at the journey as if the value of life was behind us and the meaning of life was in travel. Satan offers a golden ring, one that is seen and will last the length of breathing. The ring of this illusion lies with its visibility, causing many to value that which can't be kept. But, though The Lord asks us to believe in that which can't be seen, He promises a ring that can't be stolen, won't rust nor fade and will last eternally. Some say it's foolish to reach for the unseen, but I question the wisdom of those who reach for that which they can't keep.
Life is a rude struggle.
Those who assume a measure of control struggle most and pitch sideways or back in a forward existence. Many, after a lifetime of travel, find themselves no further than the first step. Life is a rude struggle. Once in a thousand years time offers a shadow smile during a journey's life. From somewhere beyond measure temporality builds parts into a moment more than beholding but less than beyond.
