I have to renew myself everyday as well, when I think I know I lose it and I have no idea. A new day is born each time the sun comes back around- up out of the horizon to let us know that it is a new day and we are new- thank god because some days are really hard. When I look at you I’m not looking at myself- sometimes we are accustomed to do so because in looking at ourselves we see the exact nature of our wrongs and it’s scary because it means to stay the same or change. I admire the comparison worldy things to junk food- it’s so true- gives us that rush and then comes crashing down. I have a god shaped void in my heart nothing else that I try to fill that gaping hole of a wound will fill it except the true loving spirit of gods grace and no matter how much plastic surgery I buy or how many shoes I buy or how many prescriptions I take nothing can give me that sense of peace, beauty, and rest I truly desire. Thank you for your sharing

I love the way you expressed this feeling. I know my priest talks about putting on his blacks (clerics) in the morning and dying to himself. I always wonder what it would be like to look at your own hands as a priest. It must bring you amazing joy to know the gifts you have been given, and know the beauty of what your hands, through Our Lord, give us.

This is one of the most honest, beautiful pieces you have written yet.
