Be the Mount Everest
Or be the Marianas Trench
Be the brightest star
Or be the darkest black hole
Be the cheetah
Or be the sloth
Be the point of fusion
Or be the absolute zero
Be the warrior
Or be the pacifist
Be the Planck time
Or be the Super-eon
Be the flood
Or be the drought
Be the knife
Or be the womb
Be the crown jewel
Or be the feces
Be the gigaparsec
Or be the Planck length
Be the life
Or be the death
But choose and be,
Be the something
Or the other
but choose,
Choose Heaven
or Hell
and be ready to defend your position
because you will have to on judgement day.
Yes, this is harsh
because that is what I am choosing to be.
Apathy and lukewarm-ness
has become the norm
but great things are not done
by the norm.
Choose and be.
“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”
-Revelation 3:15-16
“I feel as if I had been allowed to taste the first course of a rich banquet and then denied the rest. It is worse than not to have tasted it at all.”
– C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
