What God has ordained br can’t be avoided br We can’t see the marks br on people and places, br but Nature can. br br Nature is God’s servant. br Tame waves rise up, br whole prairies burn, br mountains skip like rams. br br Machines serve God, too. br A hundred people br who have never met br get in a plane, br congregating to fly br into the next world. br br I went to Samarra br to flee from Death, br but Death was seeking me br there, not here. br br A Master told the people, br “I will die within a week.” br Six days later, he was fine. br “Fake! ” shouted the people, br and rose up and killed him. br br Mysteries can’t be unraveled, br Time’s ticker tape br reveals only their surface. br br Each of us lives br on a fault line. br Some day we’ll br disappear from here br and appear somewhere else.
