You don’t have to carry that.
Get out from under it.
Let go.
But what a mess it will be if I let go!
It does not even belong to you.
Furthermore, you’ll probably get hurt if you keep that up.
It is a lot of effort!
Why would you want to do that anyway?
Who made you responsible?
If I don’t do it who will?
Besides, Zeus put the world on Atlas’ shoulders,
and I want to help.
It’s too heavy for any individual.
What you are doing doesn’t actually help.
Ouch!
I hurt myself. . . literally!
I’m sad that happened.
Here, let me help you get out from under that.
Wow, thanks, that really helps.
Leave it there.
Step away.
Take a rest.
Take a breath.
Relax!
Think about this for a moment. . .
Okaaaay. . .
I guess I have enough of my own to carry. . .
But I don’t see them doing anything about it!
I want to fix it, or at least see it gets fixed.
Don’t YOU?
EXACTLY
Really?
What do you mean?
Whose responsibility is it?
Well, it’s a bit hard to do MY job when you’re in there trying to do it.
Besides, who told you to do MY job?
(That’s a largely rhetorical question. . . .)
OOPS!!
Why don’t you rest right here and watch for a while.
I would also appreciate you talking with ME about these things,
before,
during,
and after I work.
And we can talk while you are resting in ME.
listening to ME,
reasoning together,
and watching ME.
That is How Our Kingdom works.
Yeah but. . .
This is how it was modeled to me.
Yes, I am aware of that.
But that was then,
this is now.
We are going back to the way I always intended it to be.
So, we did it all wrong?
Not all of it.
Besides, I make all things new.
MY mercies are new every morning.
And I know how to make everything work out better in the end for my Beloved ones.
Really?
Absolutely!
MY ways are higher than yours.
After you rest a bit,
and watch awhile,
come up here with ME.
I want you to learn how to build the Kingdom from the original blueprint.
It is much easier than you can even imagine when we do it together.
So, I DO get to help!?!
Yes, but please, let me carry the heavy stuff. . . .
