what we say

Posted on March 25, 2008 by wordhabit

impressed.

  • i feel impressed to say…

believe.

  • i believe that you are…

think.

  • i think that you should…

(insert excrement from the body of a huge cud-chewing male mammal)

who told us that we have to always know what to say?
how dare we believe it?

yes, sometimes SOMETIMES we have the right words at the right time given by the Right Man. but so often we work solely from our well-intentioned minds, minds not yet in sync with divine revelation.

the result?
a mind/heart further depressed
heightened scepticism and fear
bad things…a lot of bad things

i’m not suggesting we never offer advice.
i only ask that we be more careful.
i only ask that i be more careful.
