you know how sometimes you take a shortcut to make something easier, but still need to make it seem like you actually spent a lot of time doing it... or you put on a happy face to mask the pain you feel on the inside (whether its a physical hurt or an emotional one) smiling and laughing with friends when you have a splitting headache, or when you're feeling your heart break over and over again day after day...
i've been running into this a lot lately it seems. from the grill marks on the steak in the salad that they serve in Alex's, to the eggshell i found in my eggs this morning (which i am pretty sure are a powdered just-add-water mix) to the way that i'm dealing with my own problems. its all just an illusion. and sometimes you get so good at faking it that you can almost convince yourself that the illusion is real - that they take time to grill the steak for the salads, that they use real eggs for saturday morning breakfasts, or that it really doesn't hurt all that bad.
almost.

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on the illusion? (actually reads 'religion' which is just an illusion) Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."
Matthew 11:28-30 (Msg)
