I just can’t

Critical moments of truth. Turning points on the faith journey. They stand out. 

And impact the rest of our lives.

For me, one of those began with, “I just can’t.”

The long obedience

My parents are cleaning out cabinets. And bookshelves. 

They’ve done this before. Purging. For moves across states and across the world.

But this is different. A time for downsizing. Studying space. Deciding what will fit in the next spot. 

They’ll move to a smaller place. One of these days. So now they are paring down. Letting go. 

They push things into my hands when I express interest in a painting. A book. “Take it.”

Faithful. Mom and Dad, 2019.
