#fall apart

[dk-thrive]

I'm not asking you to hold me together. I'm asking you to open so wide there's room for all the ways I come apart.

— James A. Pearson, "How to Listen" in "The Wilderness That Bears Your Name" (Goal Trail Press, March 26, 2024.(via Regina Rosenfeld)

This song physically pains me even more now that Liam is gone. How is this real… I seriously can’t fathom.

Begin again

You and I are unstable.

I’m not calling us out. I’m just pointing out the obvious. That we’re always in flux, always moving. We’re not statues, nothing about us is fixed.

Which means? We can keep working, and watch things improve. Or we can step away, and watch them fall apart. It’s one or the other.

What we can’t do is stop, and think things will stay as they are.

If I stop repairing my house, eventually the roof will leak. Then other problems will start. With enough time and neglect, the house will fall in on itself.

If I take a break from my diet, it won’t be long before I start gaining back all of the weight I worked so hard to lose. With enough time, you’ll never know I dieted.

Either things are getting better or they’re falling apart. It’s one or the other.

There is no neutral option. And it’s true for every part of our lives.

It’s why Jesus says, “whoever does not gather with me scatters.”

If you aren’t gathering yourself to God, you’re scattering. Even if you don’t mean to.

If you don’t take the time to draw close to God, you’ll find yourself moving away from God.

There is no neutral option in life.

And nothing carries forward from yesterday.

No matter how bad yesterday was. No matter how good yesterday was. None of it carries forward into today.

St. Francis de Sales knew this well. It’s why he said, “there is no better means to attainment of the spiritual life than by continually beginning again and never thinking that we have done enough.”

Which is why the business of each day must be to choose God. And to draw close to Him.

Anything else, and you’re just scattering.

Polar Opposites?

The closer I got the more you pulled back I was crawling  And clawing Trying to make a way While you cleared yourself a path And completely ran away

I was running towards What you were running away from But this time I know, You and I will stay done

I thought our differences of positive and negative  would keep pulling us together But time revealed that we were both negative A magnetic force pulling us apart, because we were never meant to stay tethered

Come together, fall apart (come back together)

Worlds greatest curse:

Buying cosplay animal ears would be nice and fun but they cost £40. Which is an appropriate price for the effort and time the maker puts into making them but the positives I would get out of them is not £40 worth.
