Powerlessness

Anne Truitt, Daybook - The Journal of an Artist, First Scribner trade paperback edition October 2013.

Perhaps the human lesson is always submission. We have a choice: to rebel or to recognize our powerlessness while maintaining our faith. In my own case, the first choice is denied me. I simply haven't the energy. What rebellion is possible for me emerges as febrile depression. My preoccupation of how events should go has tricked me once more; I must try to open myself to the flow of cause and effect (of which I am such a small part) with a clean, trusting simplicity. Pg. 19
