Jesus said, come to me, all you who are weary, and I will give you rest.

Weary is different than tired.  You can be satisfied and tired.  Weary is when you feel like you are giving up.  That’s it, you say, too tired for the exclamation mark.  i give up.

i feel weary.  i often have this feeling, the urge to go along.  with what?

with the social convention surrounding what embarrasses people.  many times a long silence from someone signals their discomfort.  the silence tells me they are embarrassed.

Sometimes I want to speak directly to that silence and retort, do you think this what i want?  i want…

i want

em to know she can tell her story fearlessly

when she tells me she is scared

i know she has reasons to be scared

people do look at you differently when you tell them you are broken

but then, who are they kidding?

we are all broken
