a sorrowful refrain
As I sit and listen to the quiet piano refrain, and stare at the taupe wall in front of me, I can’t help but wonder if I’m ever going to earn my stripes.
Will I continue to be lazy? Will I continue to ignore needs that I see pressing around me for my own selfish reasons? Will I continue to just hope that the next opportunity literally falls in my lap, so I don’t have to do any real work? Will I continue to look up to those who are out there working, loving, serving, while I sit in front of my computer a blog about high handed topics?
It’s easier in the empire. I’ve decided this. It’s easier to just go along with the way things are, to respect those who are doing things outside of the box, but continue living in the box myself. I’m sure you already knew this though, I’m sure everyone knows this. The question is, why do we keep living in the box.
Why do I keep living in the box?

Not having a good day? I hope it gets better! You should have taken me up on the Cubs tickets. Love from Chicago!
We keep living in the box because we’ve convinced ourselves that it is safe. We live theri because we are delusional. It’s not safe.
What? What have you heard? How unsafe? Where should I go? Help!
Knock, knock! Is anyone there? I could join the blogs of live people, so you better come home soon, or it is on your head!
