stream

not really sure what to write about which means i probably shouldn't but maybe i will try this stream of consciousness style. so here goes...

have you ever noticed that life keeps going? we wish it would slow down in those amazing and special times. we wish it would skip or speed up in the hard and painful times. time doesn't seem to listen, it just goes. it doesn't try to be hurtful or to rush our lives. it is steady, reliable and always...on-time.

so how do we react. should we relish the pain or suckiness? should we breeze through that amazing little glimpse of beauty? those are the times i would love time to stop and just relax. the beauty. whether it is the walk outside amongst the hills or the cup of coffee with that amazing person across the table.

they say that there is beauty in pain, but i am not sure that we can see that in the middle of the trial. it seems that the beauty shows itself when we look back on the pain and uncover the layers of dirt and tears. the beauty is there, but much harder to find. usually more beautiful that the good times, but still hard.

our lives just keep going. the falls and rises and moves of the painter. i just hope that a bright colour is going to start soon.

I don't pretend to know all that you are going through...but if any of it is BFA-related, I do remember how hard it was to come home and be here. Continue to lean on God and talk it out with a few trusted people.

The sun will rise in the morning.
