Why?

A pent up frustration
A wondering question
Why?

Moving past the why of the circumstance but rather focusing on the why of reaction?

Forget the hand that struck the bell, why does the bell sing? And more so why does this bell sing out differently than another struck even with the same stroke?

I pace the garden, wondering over the response. It's not enough to simply recognize the what of the different reactions.No it has to be deeper. Why react this way?

A simple insect rests on a leaf. Hardly moves, barely breathes. A broken wing bears a visual testimony to his plight. Does he struggle? Does he feel entitled to life ? Is he bitter? Or just accepting?

Is there really any amount of entitlement to anything that anyone should feel? Is any living thing "deserving" of one path or another? Aren't we all just here for the moment? So why be angry? I'd rather focus on being whole. I will never be with out the scars, and there will never be an end to reminders and ridiculers of past brokenness - but there can be healing. I am not entitled to extra care or concern, nor to coddling or bitterness and anger. I'm not certain i am entitled to anything really... and IF anything I am simply entitled to breathe, to life, just as much as the next person. And it's what I choose to do with my life that makes all the difference - am I willing to let Him turn the brokenness and scars into something beautiful for His purpose and plan? (Note i cant make them beautiful on my own. ever.)

The concept of surrendering to heal.
