If your heart is a wide, open field
all around you, you will behold the space

“You can put down your load,” God says.
“I can’t,” I say.
“This is not how you were meant to live,” God says.
“I can’t,” I say.
“You can’t or you won’t?” God asks.
“I no longer know how,” I say.
“Do you want help?” God asks.
