Do You Know a Carrier

There are things I would like to write but should not.

And so, I guess I won't.

It is not mine to share in this format,

in this moment.

It's not my story to tell.

But I can't get my mind off of it.

And it is heartbreaking.

I will say this:

I think there are carriers and travelers in this world.

I see a carrier as someone who carries a tremendous burden.

We can sometimes help that person lighten their load by shining a light on their dark days,

or offer to carry the load, too, when the opportunity arrises.

And, most importantly,  we can pray for them.

And there are travelers... whose concerns are lofty and superfluous.  Meaningless.

Their souls can be bought and sold.

The travelers never seem to get the short end of the stick in life.

The traveler may traverse many physical miles in a lifetime and waste and squander their precious

God-given minds, bodies, and souls.

The carrier sojourns through their lifetime recognizing life is like a fragile flower.

Sometimes they carry more than their fair share.

The crosses they carry are sometimes so heavy ...

... it seems as if the whole world is against them.

And the flowers bend to the wind,

trying to withstand the storm.

(And thank you all for your dear comments,  but please...
do not be concerned for me, but my dear friend "K" could use some extra prayers)
