Tired Part Two
The tiredness continues day in and day out.
With no relief in sight.
Try as I might.
It seems life will not be normal for awhile,
No doubt.
Yet, I continue the struggle,
with no place to huddle.Tired of life? No that's not true.
Tired of me? Yes, now there's a clue.
Is being all there is to life?
Or do I serve some greater purpose
not seen by my candlelight.So what am I to do, when it is so dark outside?
When I feel swallowed up in darkness,
like a blind man's helplessness.
Do I wander aimlessly with fingers outstretched?
Or do I pray for deliverance,
from God, who knows best?Hear my cry, O Lord above,
And protect my wretched soul,
from the dangers of doubt and fear.
Strengthen my resolve,
So that I know that the way is clear,
That no stumbling stone is on my path
to make me falter and gasp.I am exhausted, Lord.
Help me to sleep.
And in my dreams I hope there,
Thee to meet.
Touch my mind,
Touch my body,
and touch my soul.
And heal this human trinity
like you have ages ago.So that what tomorrow brings,
I worry not.
But will instead live life boldly,
with my goals on top.

Because we are human and the nature of being human is suffering. When we are happy we snatch it in the face of our humanity....Admittedly some people are better snatchers than others! You seem to be pretty great at it, what with the Atkins-nightmare baking, the natural yeast cultivating and the squash games! =)
Maybe you're just passing through the Valley of the Shadow and before you know it, you'll be smack on top of Magic Mountain again!
P.S. Keep baking! Good for the soul!
I sure hope so. It's depressing to think that after 3 years of "training" I might not have what it takes to stay in the PhD program.
