Taking Time

Jen’s better, she’s worse; she’s up, she’s down. We are victims of gravity as we watch, pray. A friend told me that it’s possible that, unconsciously, we want a quick resolution, for it be over one way or the other. That’s for us, to relieve us from the uncertainty, from the whiplash we are all experiencing. The message we want out there in the universe, my friend said, is that Jen needs to take whatever time she needs to pull through. It doesn’t matter how long it takes, just that we keep on telling her (and ourselves) that she should use time as her friend and travel along its string until it’s right for her to emerge back into her life with her family and friends.
