[You're not given...]

YOU’RE NOT GIVEN SOMETHING YOU CAN’T HANDLE. If it’s handed to you, you might as well take it. Say I can take it, I can take it, even when you don’t know what to do with it. Grab that handle anyway, it might be of use someday. Is it a door handle, a box handle? An attachable handle opening the doorway to food? Take it, take it. Take it like a host’s offering to you. You may decline first but do so only out of politeness. Take it, it’s been given to you. Once it’s been offered to you it’s yours once and for all. For the forgiveness of sins. Against fatalism. Never forget your life stored in memory. Say that you’ll take it, as if you can handle it. Take it, handle it, as shaky as your hands may be from crying in confession, I confess to the almighty and to you my brothers and sisters, I have been complaining.
