Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
-Habakkuk 1
But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
2 Corinthians 2
Here we are: preached to of abundance, though Lao Tse reminds that the full bucket is more difficult to carry than one containing a lesser amount. This abundance is like weights on a diver, who can only resurface if he releases his burden.
The preparation of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord. All the way a man are clean in his own eyes....
A man's heart devises his way; but the Lord directs his steps.....
-Proverbs 16
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
-William Blake
What's that you say--that I'm bound for the graveyard?
Oooh, I wish you well.
-John Fogerty
