Depravity

Depravity.

Sometimes I feel so consumed in what's going on here--in my little life. Often I find myself surrounded by tasks, large and small, and it's as if I can feel them sucking the energy out of my veins. But lately, even the arguably large tasks seem to be losing their priority status in my life. As law school reading picks up and assignments come due, my dissertation continues to slip through the cracks.

But more importantly, I wonder what else I'm neglecting. What else have I allowed to fall between the cracks? Why do I find myself valuing time I spend investing in others over the time I need to put in on my "work"? To what extent is that ok?

Do you ever have the internal debate on what will really matter in eternity? Because depending on how far you take the argument, my LLM will mean nothing. Neither will my JD. So why am I here?

I'm here because I'm convinced this is where I am supposed to be right now. I'm here because I love it. I'm here because I'm just a small, small part of a much larger plan. I'm here because it's where the artist brought me.

...because of those reasons, I want to put my all into what I'm doing.

Until nothing else matters.

Check this out and let me know what you think:

"i am full of earth. you are heaven's worth. i am stained with dirt, prone to depravity. you are everything that is bright and clean, the antonym of me. you are divinity...and the truest sign of grace was this: from wounded hands redemption fell down, liberating man. but the harder i try the more clearly can i feel the depth of our fall and the weight of it all. and so this might could be the most impossible thing: your grandness in me making me clean....you are holy, holy holy. i am wholly, wholly, wholly...yours. i am full of earth and dirt and you."
