Ecclesiastes 9:11 

11 I returned and saw under the sun that—

The race is not to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor bread to the wise,
Nor riches to men of understanding,
Nor favor to men of skill;
But time and chance happen to them all.

 

Sliding before

 

Let today be … it started out polluted

Cares of the world talking through the news

How it is possible … to be so early infected

Before the day starts supposedly renewed

 

Where are the goals when the mind is dulled?

Is vitality hiding or still asleep?

What is its role when energy is resting?

What does surface mean if you don’t sense the deep?

 

Is it real important if sense is still missing?

Is it only for me to know the state of my mind?

Could it be a hindrance or just second guessing?

As onward I go toward what I left behind

 

Will I meet myself searching my past?

Will I recognize me standing face to face?

I know very well that time moves fast

And it is an honor to be last in life’s race
