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. Shultz
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
