The roller coaster is my life;
life is a fast, dizzying game;
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
If I had fallen asleep and suddenly woken up on a roller coaster,
what would I feel?
Well, I would feel trapped and sick,
terrified of every bend,
wanting to get off.
However, if I believe that the track is my destiny and that
GOD is in charge of the machine,
then the nightmare becomes somthing thrilling.
It becomes exactly what it is, a roller coaster, a safe, reliable toy,
which will eventually stop, but while the journey lasts,
I must look at the surrounding landscape and whoop with excitement.
