Discontent

I am always hoping the next thing, the next chapter, the next season will bring me contentment – and I batter myself a bit for not having grasped it already. But desire is a part of the package of being human, and while I want to love and appreciate the things already before me, to rid myself of desire in order to avoid discontentment at all costs just isn’t possible. This pesky heart of mine is determined to stay alive in all her glory while she’s still here. Praise God. What a pain in the ass.
