I want my soul back…

I want to believe, to love, to care again.

I want to walk away from all this stuff that I sold my soul for.

I want to “live simply so others may simply live”.

I want to work with my hands again; by the “sweat of my brow”.

I want to interact with precious people created in the image of God; not with numbers and letters in a computer.

I want to know them, know the man that I married, know the children I gave birth to, and know the home that I live in; know the land I live on.

I want to be connected again to all that is real in my life and release all that is false; that I allowed to distract, entertain and comfort me all these years.

I no longer want to cling to “things” or behaviors that give me a false sense of intimacy so I can hide from the true intimacy with others that I desperately need.

I want my soul back.
