My mom once told me “Don’t pray for patience because you’ll be shown how to be patient in ways you never wanted to imagine.”
I try to never assume. Sometimes saying a prayer fills me with the same feeling I get before I assemble a wall unit from IKEA.
When I walk outside, dinosaurs don’t chase me. I don’t see danger at every turn. My fight or flight response rarely if ever has good cause to kick in.
Tracks in the snow. You. You there. I know you’re out there…quietly tiptoeing around in the dark and leaving behind your analytics. I see the trail you leave.
