How do you soothe a hurting soul? A broken heart? A torn spirit?

Oh God in heaven, do you hear the cry of the people? How do you do it? Hear the cries? The hearts wounded almost beyond repair?

I’m laying, (or is it lying) here typing away on my phone. Wondering at the senselessness of it all. So, was the preacher in Ecclesiastes right? “All is vanity?”

Is there a senselessness to it all? Is senselessness even a word? Merriam-Webster says it is — lack of good sense or judgment (found under Synonyms & Antonyms of senselessness).

Hmmmmm.

Should a person write when he or she is upset? I’m not sure how I’m feeling. Which is partly good yes? I’ve often heard over the years, in certain communities, not to be driven by your feelings. Because feelings can steer us in a direction we might not want to go. Hunh. 😏

It doesn’t take much to make me laugh or cry. Both can come from totally great experiences or totally horrid experiences.

Some commercials are soooo funny. While some news stories are bawling, overflowing tear filled events.

And others, I definitely get on my soap box about the inhumane decisions/actions of others or the ineptitude in understanding the difference between what’s right and what’s wrong. Or the worst — the choice to deliberately hurt others through ignorance, arrogance…
