Recognize

What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?

… said feeling(s) upon approach. If I can avoid it all together, I will. If I must, let it ‘land’ (mentally, heart, lap), I’ll decide, & for how long. Some negative feelings I ‘have’ to sit with & allow them to run their course. When the time comes, & it will come, I wave them goodbye. For good.

If You/Would You

What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?

If you lost your first born son, by way of a violent shooting, would you at any time after that revere a gun, an image of a gun or encourage family & friends to do so? If your remaining children were to approach you, at any time after your sons death, wearing (hat, earrings, necklace, clothing, etc …) an image of a gun anywhere on his/her person, to your/in your face, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? WHAT WOULD YOU DO? At what point would that become acceptable to you? What would ‘any’ gun ‘ever’ be able to ‘represent’ about your son? NOTHING. Did you know that the Almighty has feelings, more tender than humans?
