An invitation arrived today
An opportunity to shine -
Well, at least, sparkle.
Words peppered the page
But the flow would not follow
Now a dozen crumpled titles
Adorn my office floor.
And still, nothing great emerges.
It's a mental traffic jam!
The signs are all there -
Stop, Go, Yield...
I just can't get into the right lane
I merely chug and stall...
Frustration rises like an overheated engine
Usually I do my best under pressure -
When time is of the essence
This time though it's just a fizzle.
I need a word-mechanic!
I cannot think or write
Anything worthwhile
Nay, today I'm just a
Blockhead.
Rhonda S Galizia
Sometimes our inabilities can produce possibilities which become probabilities. While it's always wise to stretch one's self a little, it is equally wise to know one's abilities and limitations and not to overstrain to exceed them..
Mostly, it's facing the truth and acknowledging it when we just can't proceed or produce as we'd like.
Ironically, the LORD will nearly always use it to teach or reveal something in our own psyche/soul that needs fine-tuning!. Life is a trip - aging is a challenge - enjoy them both!
