Time well invested

Ecclesiastes 8:9 

All this I have seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: 

There is a time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt.

 

Just being together ... who cares about achievements?

Time rightly invested needs no results.

Moments of the better ... will remove bereavement

of the things tested ... and did not fulfill.

 

Little do we know ... of what is called satisfaction?

We won’t find in loneliness ... what happiness ought to be.

Always on the go ... based on tradition

we stack stones of emptiness ... in search of being free.

 

“Life is for whom survives it” ... is a lie embraced by most.

Life can only be lived ... by them who truly die.

It is only there in peace … that the Holy Ghost

communicates all freedom ... the fullness of Life.
