Juxtaposition
[3.19.2007]
"When you think about your life; you will probably recognize a series of breathtaking blinding highs, and conversely, at the very same time, you will encounter lows wrapped up in disappointing despair. That's how it is for us. We survive the ebb and flow of the situational happenings and metaphorical cards which we have been unfairly dealt. We fight stubbornly to unveil our confusions and determine our supposed purpose, all the while, we feel the excruciating internal battle which has never begun and shall never cease. It is a lifetime long; it just is. We shall never escape this; we can only dream, at the very least, to cope. We may say to ourselves, 'I am incredibly and miraculously blessed beyond all finite comprehension, yet I cannot force myself beyond these walls of my confining and painful hell. Why is it so Lord? What am I missing? How can this parallel exist within my depths? The piercing emotionless shots at my soul come crashing upon this feeble heart while at the same time I remember my Savior and I am faithfully assured that I am somehow, someway, fulfilling a role in this great big world which is God inspired, and I am the only one whom God has chosen for this exact life that I am leading.' When you think about your life, do you experience a similar juxtaposition which entangles every corner of your actuality?"

Sarah, I like how you show our complexities. We are strong outwardly but so weak inside. We want to conquer the world but can't control our words with our loved ones. We love passionately with some and others we hide behind a mask. Last month my family got together for my mom's 70th birthday. I have such strong feelings for my brother, but due to distance and lack of communication, I don't feel I can tell him how I feel. It doesn't seem natural to gush when we rarely talk. Perhaps I think he should call. But if I love him as I say I do, how come I don't call him more. There you have it. Complex.
