“…we cannot predict our lives. Only God Almighty knows and sees it all. We can only do our best and follow the path that He places under our feet. Things don’t always turn out the way we want, even if we do everything right. Even if we live by the word of God, He will not always answer our prayers the way we expect. And it is not our place to question God’s reasoning behind it, but only to have faith in His wisdom.”

“Strangely enough, he didn’t feel any guilt for separating himself from his past. Five years ago, he clearly heard in his dream a message brought to him by Archangel Michael from the God Almighty, telling him he should get up and leave everything behind; that his place was not there; that it was time to go in search for his true self and for his true destiny.
Now, five years after, he was sitting in the Bowery chapel, a broken and homeless man, still trying to find that which he was looking for. But he didn’t regret anything he had done in those five years. In his mind, it wasn’t his doing. He sincerely believed that he surrendered his own will to the will of God and that everything that happened to him, good or bad, had to happen for some reason. It was God’s doing. It was his destiny. He just had to figure out why.”

“The Soul-Hole
(Note: The icons in TSH do not necessarily match with their intended formal meanings, they are merely frosting. Also, there are no footnotes to explain the text as there are multiple interpretations–like the proverphorical layer cake. Enjoy the cuisine. If it gets tedious its meant to. (Once dedicated to certains who want to stuff their pie holes on a diet of fattening sweet nothings).

The Soul–Hole

It was a soul
It had a goal—
(It had a notion–to fill its whole)
Its desire was—to fill its hle

It “dug” wholeheartedly its soul hole 5
To fill its soul and solely occupy the whole
It tried all things to feed its hole—
All sort O’ wants stuffed it–its black h●le

The more it ❽ the more it famished—
Ate its soul—all the more ravished 10

It thought it best
Take More not less—
Spaded it in–the meaningless

Every shovel made
Its hle got deep twice laid— 15
Struck it poor it did–its dirt well paid

◷ne scoop forward tw◑ depths deep
Length doubles t◒◒—its emptying sØul–it keeps

On the w(h)◎le, it went whole hog,
To burrow its hole–this groundhog went agog—
Furrowed it deep—to slop its façade

The more it strode to trench its hole—
A thimbleful empty⨟ no (front) end load

(–Pssst! Its as if it got bit by a pire of soul—
Yea, a soulpire sucked its swhoule dry— 25
Leaving 2wö more empty holes)

It filled but missed
It labored in bliss
Found it it—it abyssed

In dread and fearh it stoked its hole 30
With joyous tear it looped its knot whole
Broke its soil with useless toil
All–to–make it—it–assoiled

Other: “do it have a h ◙ le in its •ead?—?
It needs to fill its head h⌻le–like a hole in its head
(—Fill ⎌ its h ”
