Greetings Dear Reader,
“Soaking wet Juliet-
she lives in a well full of tears
Her husband left her for some bimbo after twenty-two years
Her husband left her for some bimbo after twenty-two years
Now she's got to start
all over, but she's just so terrified
She thinks it woulda been so much easier if he woulda just died”
She thinks it woulda been so much easier if he woulda just died”
Relationships are so difficult in our time. Conflicts of values, priorities, and
lifestyles limit our ability or willingness to connect. Once in relationships there are easier escape
clauses and diversions. The complexity
of the world and our roles in it make it too easy to disregard commitment, responsibilities,
and vows.
We actually use our own desires and wants as justification
for violation of the trust of others.
Please read clearly that I said “WE”.
I am guilty of this as well. We
abandon lives that are our responsibility in the name of finding ourselves. We pursue our dreams leaving a wake of destruction
and pain. It always comes back to
us.
The other side of that is our failure to forgive those who wrong
us. We carry the pain as our new best
friend. We turn bitterness into our way
of life. We make the betrayal our banner
and gather like minds under it. This too
leaves a wake of pain in its path and returns nothing good to us.
We justify our failures.
Sometimes we abandon all of our values just to get what we want. In truth, even if things turn out well for us
we have bought that success on the lives of others. That is never acceptable, but that is all I
am going to say right now. I don’t want
to say too much…except, sweet river, roll.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
