Coming of Age

E-mail Print PDF

Yesterday, I was a child with pictures and symbols crowded upon the walls of my chamber.
And this morning I was but half a man, with only a cross hanging upon my wall.
But tonight, I am complete with nothing upon my chamber walls.

Perhaps the pictures and symbols were of my youth.
And I was wanting to be admired by others.
Perhaps the cross was a symbol of my coming of age,
a symbol of maturity, of my desire to be loved by God.

Now my walls are white and my wanting is fulfilled.
For I am accepting of myself.
And yes, I am loved by God and all others.

Reflections

Virtue is knowing that one is driven by his arrogance. And arrogant is he who thinks he is virtuous. But he who understands the interplay between the two is neither virtuous nor arrogant but something else entirely.
