"And sometimes you need
to light the fire inside you to
end the darkness around you."
~Madiha Batool
Out of the mouth of babes . . .
as it were! It's ever so easy to
sit around moping during the
winter months. Madiha gives
the answer . . .
I do often wonder about that
proverbial fire inside me. Not
for a moment do I believe it's
out, just banked and burning
slow. And as I see it, there are
indeed things that can cause a
banked fire to blaze.
Anger is probably the most
common. It can be something
silly such as some old dame
walking by in her hippie mini;
that would be moi, by the way!
Or, something more serious as
the ongoing battle over abortion.
The treatment of the elderly in
nursing homes comes to mind.
Political dishonesty reaching
heretofore unknown heights,
depths and breaths.
Be slow to anger, third Bible
verse I've alluded to today.
But, our beliefs should count.
Our persuasions are real. And,
we sure as hell don't have to
agree with each other. Naught
wrong with having our own
opinions, stating them and
fighting for them.
Draw the line though, when
losing family and friends over
them. We can all be careful
as to the 'how' in expressing
ourselves.
Thinking here, I might just
have to build up that banked
fire and blaze myself out of
this winter depression. Going
to give some thought to the
issues that matter to my soul.
Feel free to come on over
with wood and arguments
in hand. The fire will keep
us warm whilst we argue . . .
