i wish we were all programmed as simply as i assume that moths are.

i have been spending more and more time sitting on the back porch of my apartment lately.  and i've been noticing that when this happens after dark, i always come back in to find that moths have made their way in.  why?  because they are always trying to get to the light.  i don't know what goes on in their little moth brains, but i think it's something like... "ooooh, light... must go to light...."

and i think life would be a lot easier for us if we were that way.  for those of you who don't go to church, there is often reference to God being the light of the world.  and wouldn't the world be better if we all, without thinking, just spent all of our energy trying to get to God?  if we bump into the sliding glass door... it's just a set back.  maybe we, like the moths, should just keep on striving and before we know it, we'll be sitting comfortably on a wall or a lamp shade basking in the glow of the light we've been after for so long.

Amen.
