“troubled”

Good day Beloved,

How you doing today? Are you sad? Are you content? Are you worried? Are you anxious? Are you satisfied? Are you wondering when the next shoe will drop? Are you confident that the big payoff for your striving is coming soon?

I remember in my growing up years hearing the word “troubled” fairly often. The preacher would say if you are troubled take it to Jesus. You know how if you say a word over and over it can become something different or unclear or it sounds like a nonsense word. Troubled is kinda like a nonsense word to me. It is clear and unclear at the same time about what it means. At least in my brain.

On the one hand think about I the spiritual about troubling the water to be healed and on the other hand I hear mental diagnoses of people I know as being troubled. What troubles you Beloved? Is your heart troubled by loss and grief? Is your head troubled because you are holding guilt about something? Are your relationships troubled because you just cannot get yourself to trust your own judgment?

I think sometimes that our whole world is troubled. We as the human race have troubled the environment around so much that we may be beyond getting it calmed down again. I generally am not an end of the world doomsayer but at the same time I think our environment is going to get hotter and dryer and more flooded and more burnt.

Our beautiful little blue/green planet is troubled. How are we going to help her? God only knows because I sure don’t. I do my best to take care of my own little sphere of influence but beyond that, well I am at a loss.

I do apologize Beloved; this post is a bit darker than my usual but I will only give what I have to give at the moment. May I remind you Beloved that I am a good listener. I am here if you want to pour out your troubles. Answers not guaranteed, but listening is.

Beloved, have a lovely…
