Hope & Faith
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child,
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child,
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child,
A long way from home,
A long way from home.
I realized this morning that what I've been wanting isn't necessarily a lover. What I want is for someone to take me in their arms like I was a small child and rock me, sing to me, tell me they love me and that everything is going to be all right. I suppose that's why some people need to believe in a god.
I've always believed that everything was going to be all right, no matter how bad it feels at the current moment. Over the last 6 months that belief has faded. I lost hope. It seems like the reverse is true right now. Even if I feel OK in a particular moment, I have trouble believing in the future moments.
"Breathing in, I calm my body
Breathing out, I smile
Dwelling in the present moment,
I know this is a wonderful moment"
Thich Nhat Hanh
I've used that meditation countless times to get me through tough moments. I think it may have contributed to my negative view of the future.
