I want to be alone

Ever heard the Greta Garbo expression, "I want to be alone". While that was always attributed to her, it may or may not have been her words. The further time gets away from events the cloudier it gets and gets and gets until it looks like we are looking through a fog or out dirty window. It is what Lillian Hellman would call Pentimento, like a picture behind a picture from when a painter changed his mind. How often do I change my mind? How often do I not change my mind? When should I and when shouldn't I? I ask my self these questions over and over and over until my mind is as muddy as the events that passed before me. The only thing to straighten everything out is to sit still and clear my mind, and rest in the arms of God. May He grant me peace and lead me where He wants me to go.
