The Weight And Dread

Living Life And What It Means

Written by a human, for humans, always.


There are days...

That come upon you so heavily.

The struggle.

The pains.

Worse...

You know there will be more coming.

You feel it...

The weight and dread.

It can feel overwhelming...

Crushing...

Even calamitous.

What are you to do?

Can you handle it as it bears down upon you?

For many, it is a challenge...

Myself included.

Even when you know it is coming...

Or you know methods to help you...

It does not always make it easy.

There are points in life...

Where things are simply difficult.

There are no right paths...

No perfect solutions...

Which only adds to the weight and dread.

With this...

There is the time...

Where the options ahead...

All require amounts of time that cannot be avoided.

Every day...

Every hour...

Every minute...

Every second...

Of the wait...

Adds...

To the weight and dread.

It begins to take a toll...

On your emotions...

Your spirit...

Even your physical body.

It becomes a combination of things that accumulate and build up...

Turning linear problems...

Into exponential stressors.

You ask for the strength to lift the heavens like Atlas and Hercules...

Or the capacity to carry the weight of our failures and shortcomings like Jesus.

But you know...

That you are human.

You know that you cannot hold it all...

That the weight of your failures and shortcomings will crash down.

Even when you are doing everything within your power...

Within your capabilities...

Within your limitations...

It is enough for the weight and dread...

To break just about anyone.

But...

If you manage to continue forward...

Despite the failures...

Despite the shortcomings...

Despite the emotions...

Despite the limitations...

Eventually, you will come through to something different.

What?

It is hard to say...

But it will be different...

And different means change...

As the world changes...

So must we.
