God created the heavens and the earth (1). far inferior, who am i but a mere mortal destined to physical decay and destruction? in thoughts, what have i to speak that has not been already spoken? nothing but a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, yet signifying nothing (2). indeed, everything under the sun is meaningless (3). Yet created as image of God (4), and called to be imitator of God (5), though trapped in an asylum divorced from heaven and hell (6), i dare to reach for the heavens with my bare limb (7), if i can only brush the sandals of the Son of Man (8). so i write. not for eloquence or glory or pride. but because i am, and He is there and is not silent (9).
