New habit forming: hanging up phone at most climactic part of conversation. No, I don't just suddenly press the red button in a fit of anger. I (for the most part) politely bow out at the point in the call that people are expecting a deep divulgence about how I feel about things. Let me just say, this is shortening my conversations significantly.
I went to a camp this past summer where the main focus of teaching was unity. We were told to fight against isolation with all we are worth. It's when we get isolated that our minds get attacked.
Right now I know that I should be fighting harder than ever. But it's really not happening. Everything in me feels like running from everything for just a little while. But I've tied myself to things and people and a God that I cannot run from.
So maybe the whole phone ordeal is more that than anything else. I mean, that's what I've been getting at this entire time. Simple symbolism, right? Hanging up phone equals not wanting to talk about my perception of life with others.
Conversations get eerily quiet without vulnerability, even when there are actual words coming out of your mouth.
Wow. That was deep. :) You are an amazing writer :D
ReplyDelete7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
ReplyDeleteWhen we commune with one another, we are like the Father, because He commmunes with us. No, it doesn't mean everyone needs to know everything, but everything needs to be known by somebody. :)
