I Am Building

December 2, 2025


My house of cards

On a Sisyphean rock

Wish me luck

I am sure it will end

Up like a castle

As soon as I

Get to the top

    Freaky dude.
    I was talking to a friend and said, “My brother would call it a house of cards.” And we acknowledged the whole world is a house of cards. Money, education, politics, science, religion, our sanity… One little matchstick (or gust of wind) and the whole thing comes tumblin’ down.

    And when the broken hearted people living in the world agreeThere will be an answer, let it beFor though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will seeThere will be an answer, let it be
    When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to meSpeaking words of wisdom, let it beAnd in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of meSpeaking words of wisdom, let it be
    Let it be

    What else can we do? Let it be.

      We are strange believers all of us
      There are stranger truths immortal lust
      We rise from slumber he calls our name
      Recalls our number abide with pain

      //

      Reef in a sail at the edge of the world
      If eternity should fail
      Waiting in line for the ending of time
      If eternity should fail

      To god’s illusion which I recall
      Was our delusion
      Before the fall
      The angels come and the angels go
      But the lord of light shining below

      Eternal blackness beyond the stars
      We think our wisdom will get that far
      At the master’s table the table’s bare
      No land of plenty, devastation, despair

        Today I dropped a bottle and made a mess in the grocery store. I was cleaning it up when a young man who worked there came up and told me he’s got it. I tried to help him and even offered him some money for the extra work I caused him, but with a big smile and kind eyes he said, “Don’t worry about it. I just want you to have a good shopping experience and to get your groceries.”

        I almost burst into tears. Such a small but mighty gesture.

        Could we all just help clean up each others’ messes with a cheerful attitude and no expectation of recompense?

        I saw my brother in his face. Saints everywhere.
