Floating or Fighting


Life is both extremely delicate and resiliant. So is the heart.


People walk in and ou of our lives in droves. They touch us and avoid us.


Aware and oblivious.


We have constant choices of perception and action. And yet.


Fragile and strong. Intricately so.


Floating or fighting, dazed or intentional.


Enamored or careless.


I live in both. Is it possible to always be intentional or is it necessary to detach and retract... to protect yourself... to avoid just for a while... but how easily it becomes complaceny.


Scarey.


Lord, set me on fire. Put my heart into the flames. Set my eyes like doves.

I want to be intentional. Test me so that I may surge forth in all wrecklessness and abandonment.

Allow me to LIVE.
