All Comments on 'I sit here...'

I can sure relate to a lot of your thinking. We are older and wiser but that doesn't make us old or wise. To your last line I would add "do somethng BIG" but that was unthinkable to me 6 months ago. Nice job, Friend!

So much more than what was said is buried in this piece. Without clear vision, either forward or back, we can't know, we can't understand, we can try, we can scrap together pieces of what may or may not be truth, try to create a narrative, something that propels us, something that anchors us, but without that connection between what it is and what it could be, we lack the depth reality holds, we float unattached existing without the third law of motion, no force to knock us back to measure our impact, to measure if we even had an impact. If only, life is full of those, right? If only an understanding had been reached, at the beginning, perhaps the high road could have been traveled by more souls. Perhaps the low road is only taken by those souls seeking truth, waiting for direction, lost and uncertain of what is real, if they can trust their sense of direction at all or if their internal gps is broken, backwards... Judgments are quick to be made. We should all seek to understand, reach out to those who seek to understand us, withhold judgment or at a minimum be able to amend our current judgments as new information is uncovered, unveiled, unleashed.

"I hold many things special but I fail at learning how to let the bad go."

That is so me right now...

Its comforting when you read your own thoughts in someone else's words - makes you feel less alone.
