I stumble and fall. Shall I stop and recriminate the root that snared my foot, pacing, now, in angry circles?
While I gnashed my teeth, the world passed me by and I was left by the roadside.
This much can I do: Press on.

The idea of you is deep within me. Let me then go unladen, with light heart. The world, if I trust it, will provide what it denied when I sought control.
Light heart, Lord. Let me have light heart.
– from the mountain
Consider:
How can I have a lighter heart?
