Sometimes I lie awake at night, and ask, “Where have I gone wrong?” Then a voice says to me, “This is going to take more than one night.” ~ Charles M. Shultzsleepless

What piece of the puzzle am I missing?

Why can’t I just do what is expected of me?

Why can’t I just fall in line?

I just can’t do it

It makes my stomach queasy

It feels…

…fake

There’s got to be more

a bigger purpose

Why can’t everyone see it?

Why hasn’t it dawned?

Why won’t it reveal itself?

There was a time when I didn’t mind standing alone…

a time when I felt STRONG

and determined to press on

for the greater good – the bigger purpose.

Now I’m just tired

awake in the night

and alone…and alone feels…

alone.

Yet I can’t let it go

can’t let it slip away

My strength will return… I know

it’s just going to take more than one night.

~

Wandering in the wilderness can be a good thing

It’s like the dark before the dawn

on the edge of awakening

~ DIANA’S ENORMOUS BOOK OF QUOTES ~

What awaits you in the morning?

What are you hoping for?
