I shake but I do not shake alone
I tremble and shutter
Scream and rip my shirt in grief
But not alone.
My necks falls over
It can barely hold the head that nearly explodes from the pressure of a tortured mind.
Blocking out these visions, tighter and tighter are my eyes pressed together
Until the pain of an imploded skull relieves the painful reminder of my keepers household.
At last my breaths are slow to come as tears fall like me to my knees
When I can no longer bare it alone and call upon Your Name.

I Bare It-Wednesday, October 08, 2008
“At last my breaths are slow to come as tears fall like me to my knees
When I can no longer bare it alone and call upon Your Name.”
This is the bottom line, isn’t it, this giving in to the searing realization that we can’t bear it all alone. And so down we go on our knees in true humility, the humility of one who knows the depths of hell, and who knows as well the only One who can truly pick us back up as many times as it takes.
Brave heart, true words.
beautiful. real. truth.
thank you.
take care.
