The past two weeks was filled with thinking and emotional wrestling (a lot more than usual) given the current state that I was in. I got side tracked a bit during Easter when I went up to Belgrave for a couple of days. There was a lot of great insights from the book of Esther and John (plus Hebrews) and its current relevance in our world. There were even some instances where some of those insights were directly related and applicable to me in my current situation. Still need a lot of thinking and reflection on it for me to unpack what it means. The seminars this time round were really good since they are drawing on the key phrase from Esther "for such a time as this" for this year. I also watched ABC's Q&A program where they had a debate between Richard Dawkins and the archbishop George Pell as a follow up from Belgrave. George did a decent job at shaking Richard's arguments off but he stepped on a couple of pretty deadly landmines. Could have been better.
But when I do get back at my own issues, it's been tough trying to think about it. To the one person who talked to me about it, thank you for listening to all my rubbish talk. I still feel like shit but I thank you for making me feel slightly better even if it was only for a short period of time. More importantly, I appreciate your boldness, something that I think I find lacking in my current circles. I wish more people are like that, myself not sparing.
This is turning out to be harder than I initially project it to be. I am trying to muster every ounce of restrain to not act like an ass. And I don't think I am handling this particularly well. This might take awhile.

This is just genius. My brain can barely process how wonderfully crazy this is. Perfect reminder.
