After a While After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, And you learn that love doesn mean learning and company doesn't mean security, And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises, And you begin to accept your defeat with your head up and you eyes open, with the grace of an adult,not the grief of a child, And you learn to build all you roads on today because tomorrow ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone else to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure... That you really are strong, And you really do have worth. | Mere Christianity"Something which is directing the universe, and which appears in me as a law urging me to do right and making me feel responsible and uncomfortable when I do wrong." - C.S. Lewis This coming Friday will be the first time that I have a bulk photography assignment :) It's going to be fantastic, but I am doubting my own two hands and eye will capture the right moments. With this spring of the moment event, I had to cancel more than 5 events I was to attend this weekend! C.S. Lewis's words this morning had me. Whenever we cancel, we know we're breaking the social code that none of us can perfect, yet still strive to. What continues to stop me each time I feel the pressure to perform and guilt for cancelling is Veronica's poem. For I have been learning that I can endure day by day, accepting defeat of breaking the moral code with my head up and the grace of an adult. "It is after you have realised that there is a real Moral Law, and a Power behind the law, and that you have broken that law.. - it is after all this, and not a moment sooner, that Christianity begins to talk." - C.S. Lewis |
