'...life is not as idle ore/but iron dug from central gloom/And heated hot with burning fears/ And dip in baths of hissing tears/ And batter'd with the shocks of doom/To shape and use.' - Tennyson
"What will happen in the future? What if...."
The unnecessary fears we plague ourselves with, robbing us of our present joys, blinding us from what really matters -
The nows, the present, the moment by moment, the day by day...of learning, trusting, falling and rising up again, the breakings and the healings, the hurts and the balms.
Do we throw it all away simply cos it hurts? It's inconvenient? It's trying?
"No darling, it won't be easy, not one bit, but it is and will be worth fighting for."
Grant us the wisdom to choose,
and the tenacity to walk this life -
the Life that You desire.
