small mercies

"Hope for the best, expect the worst. Life is a play. We're unrehearsed..."
Mel Brooks

Fumble a lot we do, forget our lines, get cold feet, become impatient, fall over ourselves, hurt other people. Such is the malady that plagues our humanness.

And yet in all our randomness exists hope. It is the adhesive that keeps everything from falling apart. It keeps us from falling apart. It keeps me together as I'm torn apart. This is the mercy shown me, better than none at all.

Though there are times when even hope needs a miracle, times when hope needs a bit more than hope.
