There have been times as a man that I have
known myself as lethal, to have the capacity to bring lethal force to
bear. It has always been in the state of
husband or father. Knowing yourself as
capable of lethality is a primal and dark understanding; it is base and
sobering. I was driving alone yesterday
returning to Knoxville when I got word that we had experienced a slight set
back. For a while I rode with myself in
tears and a great awareness that if cancer were a being I would bring lethal
force with extreme prejudice upon it.
No one or nothing can do that to one of mine, heart lethality with
no weapon. I was left with only my
tears. I rode alone and slowly began to
back down and to pray. Greater is He
that is within me than it that is within her.
What lethality looks like. |
