Podcast Three: Why does the weeping willow cry? Author: Jonathan Shaffer

Podcast Two: Take a walk with me through the forest as I describe the sights and sensations that lie within. Author: Jonathan Shaffer

“Listen to me hear what I say, this world needs me to survive.” This may be the line you hear when bitter minds come together, preaching only apathetic mental blocks to their listeners. Follow up with them and see they are hollow inside, through and through they preach their message over hidden undertones of pride. Infesting every word and letter, they are not striving to become better. Observe them; their actions rather, make their words their daily actions. You will not see what they say come to pass in what they do. Hypocrites, being as they are, bring judgment down on those of us who strive to endure and vocalize what we say through our daily living. I can’t say that in all my life I have never broken down in failure, unable to scrutinize the war I hide and come out victorious on the other side. But still I get up after I fall, graced by mercy from the one who sees all. Cancerous these lies have become, let not the sickness overtake. We are living now in our only days we will ever live. No chance of replay no hope of second try, this is our one and only shot at the redemption we so badly need but only some of us so fervently seek. And all I ask is why?
