Motivation

What do you do whens't you're extremely tired?
Tired of the grind - tired of your monkey mind,
Jumping from one fire that needs dousing to
The next - where does the strength really come from
To extinguish the flames that burn and chap your hide?
God is not dormant, not absent, but omniscient and
Yet - and yet - there is something aching - a
Cavernous space 3 inches below your larynx -
Not necessarily that specific or ever in that physical
Geographic locale - but a chasm that yearns for
Filling with comfort, security and peace - that seems to
Elude the all-knowing God that knows just what
You need to do in the times when you don't know -
And have not discerned how to discern the answer to
Choose or follow...
So you skip a rock across this canyon where the stone
Indubitably free falls echoing all the way down to the
Ground where gravity has guided it... as you fall you
Scream - this release releases a torrential wave of
Relief, which creates a tsunami of pent up emotions to
Erupt in a volcano of hilarity - laughter and tears,
At the same time, choking on both - joy feels fleeting,
Promising, invigorating, encouraging enough so that
You climb back up from that rugged valley, swing on the
Monkey bars of your mind, and sail through the air
Skipping like a stone across the water of your
Heart to find a little more motivation to continue
Your quest in life even though you're exhausted and
Sometimes just don't get God's answers.
