she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD and wept in anguish.
-1 sam 1:10
today is like an arbitrary divide. what makes a new year cleaner and more pregnant with hope than the old one that has passed? old pains carry over in the way that pains do. old relationships persist in all glorious dysfunction. difficult things and people remain difficult. the cock's crow heralds weakness and defeat as well as sunrise, as it has.
thank God for the NT counterpoint in matt 5:4.
blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
