Bobbing and Weaving

We all dance. Every one of us diligently works to side-step those things that we find less than palatable or downright ugly. We cleverly work to circumvent, defuse and detour around all of the many things that we find unsavory and therefore prefer not to deal with. In essence, we bob and weave and we tend to do a lot of it.

Certain times certainly call for such actions. But more often than not we’re simply committed to avoidance. And in the avoidance we often miss some of life’s most precious and important lessons. In such bobbing and weaving we likewise miss the opportunity to obtain real resolution where we thought such resolution as impossible. And so in bobbing and weaving, might we be avoiding something that in reality is so priceless that avoiding it is foolishness of the greatest sort.
