Jesus and me are one. In that mystical way wherein Christ and His Church are one thing not two. Or a man & wife are one flesh.
I think it fitting my days are long, or long enough to make an impact, and live & love well . . . Because I value Jesus' life as my #1 priority, and because I am 'an instrument of His peace,' I must not be idle, I must not 'check-out' before I'm ripe.--That is to sell Jesus Christ Himself short. That's to give Heaven a raw deal. As Keats says this life we live on Earth is "vale of soul-making."--That goes for us, and for our neighbours whom we must attend to. Heaven needs her footstool where souls are formed. This is the Earth, where you and I are, and wherein we must do our time.
