Sin and forgiveness and falling and getting back up and losing the pearl of great price in the couch cushions but then finding it again, and again, and again? those are the stumbling steps to becoming real, the only script that's really worth following in this world or the one that's coming.

We see only the script and not the paper on which the script is written. the paper is there, whether the script is on it or not. to those who look upon the script as real, you have to say that it is unreal - an illusion - since it rests upon the paper. the wise person looks upon both paper and script as one.

The leaves are falling, falling as from way off, as though far gardens withered in the skies; they are falling with denying gestures. and in the nights the heavy earth is falling from all the stars down into loneliness. we all are falling. this hand falls. and look at others: it is in them all. and yet there is one who holds this falling endlessly gently in his hands.

Faith stands or falls on the truth that the future with god is more satisfying than the one promised by sin. where this truth is embraced and god is cherished above all, the power of sin is broken. the power of sin is the power of deceit. sin has power through promising a false future. in temptation sin comes to us and says: "the future with god on his narrow way is hard and unhappy, but the way i promise is pleasant and satisfying." the power of sin is in the power of this lie.
