Conflicted.
It's unavoidable. We'll all face it again and again. As the saying goes "Stuck between a rock and a hard place." The question becomes what will we do when we find ourselves "conflicted"? We have to pause and wait for understanding and some peace. Then we need to act in some way that reinforces a sense of self-worth and an interest in the welfare of others. The ancient Chinese saying that "A journey of a 1,000 miles begins with one step" applies here. It will take time, so be kind to yourself. Being or feeling conflicted isn't bad, it's human. Although it feels bad, we can grow in this season. Allie B's expression is poignant and real; a shout out for the conflicted. Washington DC, 30 September 2017.
