ive decided that instead of posting my own words, i might borrow from others for a bit.

'instead we entangle ourselves

in knots of our own making

and struggle, lonely and confused.

so, like children, we begin again

to learn from the things,

because they are in Gods heart;

they have never left him.

this is what the things can teach us:

to fall:

patiently to trust our heaviness.

even a bird has to do that

before he can fly.'
