Lord, if this is where you want me,
I'm content.
No, not quite true. I wish it were.
All I can say, in honesty, is this:
If this is where I'm meant to be
I'll stay. And try.
(Eddie Askew)
This meant a huge amount to me when I was struggling in teaching. I hated the job, and could see no way out, but these words echoed in my heart. I wrote it on June 14th, but I didn't note the year.
Not every truth is the better for showing its face undisguised; and often silence is the wisest thing to heed (Pindar)
