...and know

I have exceedingly high expectations... on the large and small scales.  On the daily and on the lifetime.  For me and for others.  How is it that in general, I have a pretty easy going outward demeanor?  How is it that I don't seem to meet them, and others don't seem to care?

I carry so much tension between my expectations and reality, and I swing between acquiescence and acceptance/defiance, mostly on the inside.  Mostly in my shoulders.  Christ the Reconciler, you are there, in the tension.  Hold me, in the tension.  Reconcile my thoughts and my feelings and my actions to one another, and make me integrally sound.  Reconcile me to you, and the world.  Hope.
