Tears of Uncertainty, Tears of Hope

TruthInAction

I was lying awake in bed this morning, mind wandering over various things.

Suddenly my mind turned to the JC blog and recent developments since the 2006 elections. The thought came to me that I was so discouraged about impeachment being taken “off the table” that maybe I would just leave the blog. Immediately tears started streaming down my face!

My own reaction shocked me, and the tears kept coming.

The tears weren’t over leaving dear friends on the blog. I could still find many on Soapbox.

It was truly a feeling of my heart being broken. My faith in an important step forward having been tossed.

There are times when it feels that the body and the head don’t come together to speak with each other as well as one would like. This was one of those times. My body was grieving and openly sobbing, while my mind was so surprised, so suddenly aware that it hadn’t known that the “body” had been carrying this recent loss so deeply.

We had been marching behind our leader, heading toward our victory. A leader who had challenged us to follow him.

We won the election. The Democrats have a majority in the House and in the Senate.

But somehow along the way, we lost our impeachment battle.

We lost in words. We lost on paper. Impeachment “off the table,” committed to in writing by someone we had trusted – one we had put our total faith into.

I had put all of my eggs into this basket. All my toes into this stream. All of my hopes and dreams into someone who said they would deliver.

Where do I go from here? What do I do?

The tears still come.

I’m urged to remain only by Rusty’s confidence, by Patriot’s conviction. By others who say they will be patient.

I guess I will stay. I will wait and see.

Congressman Conyers – please don’t let me down.

The Democratic House and Senate have to lock these guys up for good.
