I wish

Just stuff going on right now. Life cuts.

I look for that button and I still can’t find it.
I search for that lever and it eludes me once more.
I hold the instructions and they lead me nowhere.

Where do I go now?
Right, left?
Straight ahead?
Or back track.

I want to diffuse the bomb.
I want to unravel the string.

Tell me where I need to go. Let me help you.

    This is help in itself, the desire to be helpful is not unseen and will penetrate; it is the matter of timing that leaves a person wanting to know the time frame (when will it work). That is the elusive part…

    I know what you mean and how you must feel.
    Follow that little voice inside you, it always knows what’s best.

    lol – I’ve just realised how ironic it is – I came to your site looking for instructions on something and got distracted reading instead
