What I Learn from My GERD

Silence without, but active within.

With hours to pass until morning, I sit reflecting on different things.  Sometimes I feel disoriented by the pain, but other times it produces worthwhile thoughts that I find helpful.

I learn to stay quiet, be patient, to struggle well.  That’s what trials in life are like at times – you can protest and whinge all you want, it’s not going to drive them away.  Who are you waging war against?  If you’ll have to go through it, you’ll have to go through it anyway.
