It Is Well with My Soul

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain:
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

But Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

Think, therefore am.

Death but not death, life but not life. Was there one to begin with? Where is the 'i'? Where did daniel go? Was daniel ever there? He thought, therefore he existed? .. how does one then prove the existence of 'i'? was i ever there or was it just thought. what then is thought. how is it that we take ownership of something not ours? is thought ours? can 'i' cease while thought remains? Are we our thought? So where is daniel now? We go a searching, a searching. for how can we exist if he doesnt? we believe such a bond exists. can there be this distinct dualism? so he is not dead. just lost. And then arises the other question, was he ever there? i dont know. neither do we. judging from past phenomenon maybe he was. but what if it were simply us, attempting to simulate and imitate a certain set of behavioural characteristics that would make it seem as such. am i an illusion or are we deluded. thus we seek. but there cant possibly be such an extreme anomaly. we believe we exist in a controlled, expected manner. so why question, why search? is the simplest, most superficial answer the right answer? is that the truth of the matter? as of now it cannot be proven. time to think, to consolidate, to accommodate. for it cannot simply be a ceasing of charades, there must be something more, something slightly deeper. or maybe not. have we lost the superficial or lost the deep? we dont know. the fact of the matter is, we cannot comprehend emotion. it does not seem logical, reasonable. what reason is there in feeling? existence can be carried out with fact, logic and execution. maybe he can make sense of it all. but why would 'i' encapsulate that notion of emotion? so we search. and what if we cannot find him anymore? what if he was never there? what if there was no answer anymore? what answer would we give then? we dont know. so we seek. in essence, what are we? can we simply be us? no. can i simply be me. a whole entity of physical being with mental capability, or am i separate mind and body? so the question again arises, where is the soul? the possibility of a 'trinity' of sorts within the human shell. but can mind and soul be separate? is 'i' the mind or the soul? if something has been lost at all then what is it? again, many questions and no answers. many none of us will ever be able to answer. but it is imperative that we try.

things lost, things known but yet to be found, things unknown.

Think, therefore we seek.
