I am engaged in an act of willfulness, which is not quite the same thing as engaging my will. I am clinging, not entirely through my free will, to some pain and that pain is clinging to me. I am stubbornly, doggedly, even unrelentingly, holding onto something I cannot change but I want something to change.
I am making myself ill, with heart attacks symptoms enduring for a few weeks now, in my willful inability (refusal? I have prayed to let go and I cannot).
I am so sure that what I want is right. My certitude is killing me. And sometimes I am hoping it will.
Ack.
No flow.
Underneath my unhappy willfulness is the hardest certitude I have yet to know. I am so sure I am right, yet wholly unable to do anything. I can't have what I want. I can't let go.
I know why pain shoots up my left arm, why I become so fatigued I can barely stand up, why I sweat profusely. I am very stubbornly holding onto my certitude, which, for all my dogged certainty, is a failure to trust that my good is unfolding exactly as it should. It may be killing me for real but I can't let go of what is working me.
I am unhappy. And sick.
