Susan LaffertyIsolation. The ancient proverb speaks true about present reality. In our connected world.
Where media takes a word like “social” and turns it upside down.
“The one who isolates himself pursues selfish desires;
he rebels against all sound wisdom.”
Proverbs 18:1
Broken record pleading. Same old insecurity. Inadequacy.
Pride.
Doing a number on my thinking.
Fiery-dart target practice, feels like, somedays.
Age-old questions on repeat.
Sometimes troubles flow. Underneath.
A running series of concerns. Questions darting here and there.
Waking in the night. Persistent through the day. Disquiet, rhythmic.
Children’s needs. Aging parents. Friends’ struggles.
Natural disasters. State of the world.
Future plans, uncertain.
You name it.
