A love letter from God

Working through my own personal crisis of meaning. Processing. Grieving. Making decisions I’m not prepared to make. 

Some days I’m fine. Some days I want to go out, kicking and screaming.

Meanwhile, where is God in all of this? I haven’t given up hope.

My fun solution to “the problem of track and field” if there is one.

Post-recording thoughts:

Points should also be awarded to a runner for leading (per lap).

Alternatively, we eliminate points altogether, and do something like tennis does, best of 5 sets (races). Might not be spectator friendly, but watching the same field go at it (and using different tactics) 5 days in a row on TV would be interesting. Kinda what happens at the Olympics where drama unfolds over an entire week.

I have a feeling this episode won’t age very well but I wanted to be as open and as vulnerable as possible with where I’m at in life right now and with this thing that has all but dominated my life outside of fear (fear of abandonment, fear of being alone, fear of pain, and fear of living in a meaningless or sinister universe).

In short, I continue to run because I’m still competing against my younger self.
