In The Bible-Black Pre Dawn

Rough housin' (literally), bottles clankin', dishes flyin'. "Maybe I'm retarded?" I thought, "because no matter how hard I try I just can't seem to get this right." This followed with the thought that perhaps this "right" is just wholly unattainable. The wisdom from my dad clanging in my head like the familiar toll of a bell from the safeness of childhood. "I'm not perfect, I'm going to make mistakes. Get over it already!"

Woke this morning to the sound of rustling outside, and Marcus Aurelius saying in my ear, "do not feel offended, and you haven't been." Will try to take this to heart.
