Traumatized?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Given the alternative, what’s wrong with peace?

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One, Light of the World,

Your light shines in our lives to keep us on a clear and hopeful path.
When we encounter dark places along the path, may your light show the way and lead us where you would have us go.

When our minds get tangled in some underbrush off the path, may you enlighten us to return to you and the joy that you give.

When life’s rough seas toss us about so that we fall into despair, may your light guide us to the safe harbor of your presence.

I saw a well-used candle that had long since lost its original lovely form. Nobody seemed to care, for it had great character and its glow was still a perfect reflection of your warmth and love.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“A new commandment I give to you women: Thou shalt not leave the toilet seat down!”

[It hasn’t worked out that way, so I’m pretty sure He never said it.]

We woke up to terror,
And it traumatized us.
We flail now at ghosts.
