Cockeyed...
Your posts have caught my attention - they touch me - you're a poet. I hear such pain and fear behind the words...
I pray for you to truly find joy in life, and a lasting peace. I know it can seem quite elusive...
I've known the faux solace of living from "fix to fix". I've known the empty promises of institutionalized relgion. I've known the hollow emptiness that resonates after jumping through all the "guaranteed hoops". I've known the exhaustion that comes from endless treadmill rides, the mental fatigue of trying to convince yourself that you're actually getting somewhere...
Vanity, vanity, all is vanity...
... except for what is truth. Cry out for it. Sometimes we find it when we've depleted all sources for trying to earn it.
Shalom, Dena
