Where?

Where do you go when you are lost, when you don't know which way to go. Where do you go when you are standing all alone in the darkness without a light or a sound to guide you? Where do you turn when there isn't a hand reaching out to help pull you up?

The only place left to go is to my knees - bowed down in immediate and emergent prayer.

I ask - how did I get here? And the answer staring me in the face is that I got here by turning the other cheek. I got slapped and I turned the other cheek and I got slapped again. And so I turned the other cheek only to continually get slapped. So I ran - I ran and I ran and I ran, but all that running has gotten me no further from what I was running from then the day I started running.

My heart hurts.
I surrender....................
