When I am in a mood, the dissolutions of the world
start to weigh on me a certain
weariness of spirit
makes me wonder sometimes what
is the point of carrying
this
light
when blatant ignorance and cruelties
take on the lightness of laughter
and flippancy
when ideas of simple kindness can be so easily
overlooked

I wonder sometimes how one is expected
to guide young lives
with (most days), no idea
of what we are doing
other than assurances that of course
quite naturally, we can all feel this way
and rightfully so, I suppose
really, there is no issue owning up to that
which we do not know
this is.. \u00a0as it happens
how we stay
open<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to be honest, I don\u2019t readily attach myself to any
organized religion
suppose I trust more in the less-rigorous
less\u2026assured,
kind of certainty
yet always I am most grateful for the gentle wisdom
