Today's Stichomancy for Christian Bale

The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from New Poems by Robert Louis Stevenson:

Where is no man, nor any earth, nor sea, And the contented soul is all alone with God.

STRANGE ARE THE WAYS OF MEN

STRANGE are the ways of men, And strange the ways of God! We tread the mazy paths That all our fathers trod.

We tread them undismayed, And undismayed behold The portents of the sky, The things that were of old.
