a dead end.
no way out.
no way in.
stuck.
hopeless.

i also cannot count the number of times it has
been only an illusion i created in my mind.

in my spiritual practice
i have had to learn this lesson
over and over again.

i have had to learn to trust
god more than my fears.
i have had to learn to look beyond
what appears to be, and consider there may
be other options.... different interpretations.
i have had to learn that i often imagine
the worse, and neglect hope.

i am working on these things...
