too busy to sleep enough. oversleeping my alarm and crashing into busy days...

and there's this longing.  unrequited.  need to be alone with my Creator.  the hole only He can mend, the vacuum only He's big enough to fill though i try to cram all my friends and loved ones in that spot.  all my activities and striving.  poor substitutes for Life, for Living Water, though life-infused they may be.  bear my burdens, Abba.  I need You so much closer.

"saying time take us forward relief from this longing they could land that plane on my heart i don't care. just give me november the warmth of a whisper in the freezing darkness of my room..."        When the Curious Girl... -Bright Eyes

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.

Life is beauty, admire it.

Life is a dream, realize it.

Life is a challenge, meet it.

Life is a duty, complete it.

Life is a game, play it.

Life is a promise, fulfill it.

Life is sorrow, overcome it.

Life is a song, sing it.

Life is a struggle, accept it.

Life is a tragedy, confront it.

Life is an adventure, dare it.

Life is luck, make it.

Life is too precious, do not destroy it.

Life is life, fight for it.

Mother Teresa
