I want to write, I want to think, I want to express thoughts and ideas. However, I am unable to. I can’t stay focused. I look around and want to be there for others, to aid them to help them, to do some good in this world, but I feel as If I know not what to do, what to say. I’m tired and I’m worn, and I feel bad because I see so much, I feel so much and want to respond, want to be there for, and yet feel as if I’m not. Then feel worse because the only way I know to describe is in I statements, when the I is not really part of the experience/thought process, but the only way to express it in the limits of language. Well beyond the tired and worn part… I need to figure out what is going on so that I can get back on track and truly respond to the Eternal’s call to all of us. Working in and with community toward that day of peace and justice I long for when all is restored and made whole once more.
Peace,
