This, not That

Dazed,
not dazzled.

Lamenting,
not rejoicing.

Enduring,
not prevailing.

Wondering,
not comprehending.

Stunted,
not growing.

Shunted,
not promoted.

Shunned,
not welcomed.

Agonized,
not astonished

....

Looking up--
while beaten down.

  1. Afflicted in every way,
    but not crushed;

    Perplexed,
    not driven to despair;

    Persecuted,
    not forsaken;

    Struck down,
    not destroyed.

    II Corinthians 4:8-9


    Sometimes it is a comfort to know the late greats felt exactly the same way.
