Do you ever find yourself pleading.
For something to happen
For something to not happen
To be understood
For an understanding
And then
There is a flash
Brilliant, powerful and full of clarity
It is a perception
That the pleading won’t matter
Or change
Anything.
Then
After that flash
You return to pleading.

Irony is the name of Life. Oh yes indeed do I ever understand this! In my “age” I’ve at least tried to accept what comes and to pray for strength and calmness to handle what is about to blast into my life. Sometimes I never see the blast coming. And then SHOCK overtakes all and I’m not even able to seek help for strength and calmness. Really enjoyed this …. life … what can I say that you already don’t know? 😉

You said it beautifully AmyRose! Criminy this is it. I have learned to ask for strength to deal with what’s coming but man on man when it hits that lesson flies right out the window!!!! 🙂 Well said!

Well yes, as a matter of fact. I lie in bed at night, listening to the screeching of my tinnitus, and almost pop upright to go turn it off. But that’ll never happen so I return to pleading/accepting. Sigh.

You might like to know that I was doodling one day and this fella appeared. Immediately I knew he was pleading. And then these thoughts played out. Because I think that is what we are wired to do. (And I like your square one and circle!!!)

Oh but yes! Desperate times often lead to desperate measures. In calmer times, faith, common sense, and patience may calm those impulses, but all too often, pleading and begging rises to the surface. 😦
