Hopeful Cynic

Plastic wreaths sit at the side of the road.


Mourners weep in Colorado.

A broken economy causes homelessness and hunger.

Health care is not affordable and people are living longer.

Grown-ups tell lies about each other in order to be in charge.

Slander, lies, and doubt create no confidence in possible recovery of a lost government.

Anger and frustrations eat people alive causing them to react in bad ways.

Fear and lack of faith make people sick, crazy and unheard.

Life is a conundrum of mixed metaphors and no one knows how to fix it.

Can the end of the world be far off?

But….i then I write this….

Learn to look beyond the problem.

Learn to feel compassion.

Learn to let go of guilt.

Learn to live now.

Learn to allow God control.

Learn to give God the reins.

Learn to lean on God.

Learn to be a grown up.

Learn to trust.

Learn to not let the bad spoil all the good.
