how about a few days off

suffering,

of course, is necessary.

why

else would we get on our knees

and pray

for forgiveness

and 

redemption, salvation,

and to put

our cares and worries

at ease.

we need to suffer. we need

pain.

we need

to once again turn over

that new leaf

and start again.

we need to look through

that glass

darkly,

but sometimes, enough

is enough.

and you need a break

a relief

from the mystery.
