"And a ship without rudder may wander aimlessly among perilous isles yet sink not to the bottom."
 maybe I am not without hope, I can wander aimlessly but not sink to the bottom.


"What is the soul?  it's the real you.   it's not just the atoms of you, it goes beyond the skin,  it's the pattern of you, a rich pattern that involves everything, your memories,  your character, your personality, all the people you love, your relationship to them,  you are not just the matter of your body which is always changing.
God will not allow that pattern to be lost and will resurrect that pattern."  John Polkinghorne.


that gives me hope that all is not lost.

That I can float out there onto the wave that holds your soul.

"This is not the only life we live,the future is not yet there to be known.
  there is a destiny beyond death."   John Polkinghorne
