Sterile Mold

By: Anna Bryant

 
 
This world was not what people said
It is exaggerated, stretched, or faded. 
What is the fear of being real?

 
So many choose to be plastic or copies of another. 
They fall into the mold by trying to break it. 
All such imitation are the shimmer of the truth.


Of what is real...
 

The children are the ones without false actions.
They show us the true freedom. 
Giving us hope to have that same unbroken trust. 


We make life sterile due to a pointed fear.  
With no chance taken, no life is lived. 
Creativity cannot be birthed without stepping out of fear and into something new. 


Will you dare to gaze at the new....

Sands of the Journey

By: Anna Bryant I have become a wanderer in the parched lands of a desert.    When I began this journey through dunes of an unknown land.  I was filled with excitement and ambition, ready to take on the world. No doubts. Not even a single worry. Now I have miles behind me and an unknown number still lay ahead.  The sun, which had filled me with a sense of adventure before, has now just become a painful reminder.  Another day has come and I have yet to complete what I started. I look in every direction. Sand. Sand is my past, present, and future. My heart is heavier than the pack in which I carry. There are no walls around me and yet any step I take appears meaningless. I scream with all my might, but it is just me here, alone. The sound bounces off the thoughts within my head. “You will die, before you find your dreams.” “You are all dried up.” “You are nothing.” I fall to me knees, my body tensed by the invisib...

Rebuilding Heart

"I will build you up again, and you, Virgin Israel, will be rebuilt. Again you will take up your tambourines and go out to dance with the joyful." Jeremiah 31:4 To be built up again, one must be torn down at least once. When anyone is rebuilding a house, they have to make sure all damaged debris is pulled away before rebuilding. Just as a house,  when someone hurts us we must be allowed to rid our self of the debris of that damage. we can't hold onto the broken piece or it grows in bitterness, which will rot out the new structure we try to build. Everyone has been hurt at some point in their lives. The pain can be deep, sharp, and feel as though it may never be healed. We must let go the of the splintered shards of insults, broken trust, or unhealthy expectation. The splinters are getting under your fingernails, not the one who inflicted the pain, it can damage your life. When you are hurting you feel helpless, like you can't help anyone else, but it...

Emotions

By: Anna Bryant      Emotions are humans blessing and curse.  The heart is one of the most fragile pieces of this world.  Your mind try's to grasp what exactly your emotions are,  Are they happy?  Are sad?  What are they?  People think they have their own emotions figured out.  Do they?  Broken hearts mend through time and friends.  Friends that keep you close.  Emotions are confusing, but I think it is a way Christ molds into more like him.  Are emotions real? Can they be trusted?  What is the purpose for them?  Emotions equal questions,  Questions equal searching,  Searching equal understanding,  Understanding shows us purpose,  And purpose proves God.  Emotions can be painful but through them you gain understanding.  I really don't know the answer "are emotions good for us?" but I am searching.
