i stumble and i trip and i am reminded it’s all about love.

how easily i forget in my passionate nature that loves to discuss.

i was told to go into law for a reason and my philosophy training certainly helped cement my ability - i can separate my emotions from my arguments and look at the premises without feeling as if i’m engaging in a war or even a wrestling match.

sometimes i forget not everyone feels that way. and so what is begun in good fun, sprung from my insatiable curiosity snowballs into something much larger than i realize, and i find myself having to retreat and throw up a white flag, not realizing i was even in a tussle until it is too late and i am told, “there will be an answer, let it be.”

how often i trip.

Lord Jesus, have mercy.
