What if we wake one shimmering morning to
Hear the fierce hammering
Of his firm knuckles
Hard on the door?

Of the familiar
Propitious haze?

To sleep in the coolness
Of snug unawareness.

We should stick to our responsibilities, vocation, and position in life. God and God alone knows what is predestined. You aren't supposed to know. — Martin Luther
