Support

When I'm young, it seems like support from others are so plentiful. It's a matter of whether I want to rely on people as support or not. Maybe I have very little expectations of what I want.

As I grow older, it is getting harder and harder for me to find support. Support that I have established in the past may crumble down, or disappear, due to unforseen circumstances. And as I grow older, I become a support for others, while still seeking my own support. Ironically, some of the people that I am supporting will in turn be the people I rely on for support. But these support seem weak compared to what I expect.

And as more and more support is removed from my life, I begin to find support in the most unlikely places. Ad hoc supports through chance meetings or random occasions.

Maybe as one grows older, the form of support changes until one can truly rely on our Lord, the Rock of Ages.
