Where to now?

Thursday 2nd March 2006

Didn't we do this already?

Didn't we already go through the life changing sadness and greif and hopelessness that was 'sent' to us to make us stronger?

Christian friends like to remind me that if God will provide for a sparrow, he will provide for me. But you know what, I've seen a lot of dead sparrows around the place - lying half mawled on the side of the road, or on a foot path like yesterdays trash. It would be nice to be offered something a little more reassuring to place my faith in.

Scarlet O'Hara saw hope in the sunrise and the promise that tomorrow is another day. I find that as comforting as knowing that the ocean will always be wet.

So what now? Where do you go from this sad place? Do you follow the same path out of the pit that you took last time? Or was that part of the mess that got you into this sad place? Where the fuck is my heart's owners manual?
