I am sure DeFrancisco is working in this vein. I have had to select and write out a dysfunctional relationship within my family. Of course, pertinent to me. Probably the hardest part of the assignment is picking the one to write about.
I am just back from a quick trip to Minnesota which I took to lean on one of my brothers. Completely redundant, and pointless. In the assignment, I have to write about 'breakthrough.' Can I lead to 'breakthrough,' what would 'breakthrough' look like? What is my role in achieving 'breakthrough?' There is no 'breakthrough' so far. And it doesn't look like there will be.
This places me back to trying to find a way to enjoy my life, stay focused in my prayer and studies, and continue to grow and change in ways I can generate.
I am enjoying the burst of spring we are having, even though it is producing mud. The birds are trilling like there is no tomorrow. The ice is dark and punky. It is rotting. Still, an idiot was dragging a sled across it this morning, to ice fish. This is like my brother. Determined to test and provoke danger, and risk his own life in the obsessive pursuit of throwing in the towel.
I am going to avoid further exploration of my family relationships and write my paper on the ethical considerations pertinent to cloning. That should make something productive come of a day that finds me stymied and frustrated.
