I saw a picture of green helium balloons and that got me thinking. It was 2 years back, mid year when I went and sat at a meeting. It was to share the visions of a new concept for a ministry. I was part of that ministry as a singer and as a leader. I saw that change as something that would bring the youth up, out of the miry clay that was slowly covering all that we have worked on.
Maybe at that time, I thought that we were in a place that was not as good as the past years. So change is good is it not? Change would bring a fresh start for something better? Maybe not..
Then all of a sudden, last year. The group of people who talked about being a family themselves dissolved. There they were asking us to internalize their vision, encouraging us to be a family together and bringing more people into the family. But a year later, everything fell apart. and now some are struggling to stay afloat with the initial change, while the rest have taken up their own individual visions.
What happened? That is the question that swirled through my mind as I remembered that particular Saturday. Going home with a green helium balloon, that had a tag saying, “Dreams need some TLC(Tender, Loving, Care) too.”
I’m not saying it is anyone’s fault. I just thought that a change I supported for would make a better future. No use talking about what ifs.
Wish there was an explanation. It just seemed like it was easy for people to up and go. Maybe it was not but it does look like it.
Oh well… Off to something else.
