What the old church lady taught me of Englightenment

by jeff-dingler

“Lord knows Gods come and go so quick it’s like lightning, and lord knows I’ve received my slings and arrows all in silence. Don’t quote me about love being nat’ral or rent being heaven-sent; they isn’t and looord no I ain’t gonna preach the almighty’s reliance. The friendless creep of hours into centuries can be frightening; I’m just enlightened enough to know there’s no such thing as enlightenment.”
