That's why history always repeats itself.
The first time I read that, it was like a revelation.
It's come back twice to me recently, once over dinner with Roger three weeks ago and the other last Saturday in service when Pastor Jules said that lessons in life will be repeated until you master them.
Sigh.
I'm a long way from mastering my lessons.

can this continue?
and what on earth am I supposed to do about it?
I don't like living like this, feeling unsafe. But for now, I submit.

"Writing can be a true spiritual discipline. Writing can help us to concentrate, to get in touch with the deeper stirrings of our hearts, to clarify our minds, to process confusing emotions, to reflect on our experiences, to give artistic expression to what we are living, and to store significant events in our memories. Writing can also be good for others who might read what we write.
Quite often a difficult, painful, or frustrating day can be "redeemed" by writing about it. By writing we can claim what we have lived and thus integrate it more fully into our journeys. Then writing can become lifesaving for us and sometimes for others too."
