God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. I am just no realizing where the emphasis lies in that statement. I should have known, long ago, it follows it up, it's the end, the moral of the story, the wisdom to know the difference. i've concentrated so long on the peace, it's always about the peace, about stillness, still waters run deep, calm, serenity. About reeds bending in the wind. About survival. I've disregarded the fight, the change, the chaos and the fury, the construction and destruction, the movement. I didn't have the wisdom, I've lacked the sight, there's no diff, no patch, no versioning, no easy way to tell, you've got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know that. tiptoeing through life.
