Rolling Tides

 




                            It seems we all drift from time to time in things.. Our seasons of life may be gentle and serene and other times tempestuous and rocky. The past several years I have felt more of the tidal waves knocking me down than that of solid footing on the ground. I have found my mind forgetful, and my heart weary with the conflicting emotions I have inside, despite where I may be. 

     When asked if one is  ok, dare not say because in truth for the most part people dont want to hear the nitty gritty of how someone is feeling,its makes alot of folks uncomfortable..and maybe its because they cant fix it.and if you ever experienced emotional abuse of being told for many years that "you shouldnt feel that way" to " Your feelings are your problem,You Need to Fix Them" or even sharing them only to have what ever grievances you share be turned around on you.. You just learn to say with the universally accepted "Im Ok". Then gosh forbid you have a blow up moment down the road and people around you act shocked. 


Just as ocean tides roll  onto the beach changing the landscape of it, smoothing rocks, scattering the sand in different directions.. the tides of life can have a way of changing a person and the perceptions of that persons life. Some changes can be good and necessary and other times its not and leaves jagged edges on a persons soul.
