1 A Pledge
I will put my hand up and ask if I do not know the answer, someone will be able to help us see it clearer. It is better for me to get an answer truthfully and not want I want, than to live is a delusion that I want to hear people say.
I have one mouth, but two ears. I will use them in that order. I will listen to what you say, and give you a kind word. As long as you need me, I will be there.
I see you broken, and lost. I will hold your hand and lift you back. But you're on the sand and the way back is but only barefoot in the sand. How did you get here, for it was me who carried you, now walk along home.
I fear not the past, I cannot change that. I live today, but for tomorrow. Just take what you need today, so the harvest tomorrow is more fruitful.0 -
Everything searched without success or inspiration of what/where further....which obviously occludes the Relevant Where.
Feel completely stuck.
