Red sky at morning . . .

. . .  sailor, take warning. - ancient mariners' rhyme

(Jesus) replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times." - Mt 16, 2-3

“ . . . Like a red morn that ever yet betokened,
Wrack to the seaman, tempest to the field,
Sorrow to the shepherds, woe unto the birds,
Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds.” - Shakespeare, Venus and Adonis

A person who knows he should be living like this but who feels like he just. can't. might just find himself in real trouble, sooner or later, if he doesn't figure out how to.
