Emptiness

consistently my mind has been drawn to the wisdom woven into the proverbs of solomon. maybe it is that solomon and i are both collectors of punchy sound bites, or maybe the clarity of his axioms frequently haunt me.

in proverbs 22:8 solomon contends that the person “who sows iniquity will reap vanity”.

a possible paraphrase could be, “the person that plants disobedience to God will harvest a meaningless life”. when i step outside of my circumstances and consider my actions, when i critique the choices that i am daily planting, i am forced to wonder ... will my life harvest emptiness.
