The Eyewall
For months, Emmanuel drove past the hospital his mother used to check herself into. One evening he gripped the steering wheel and stared at the entrance. A forty-day fast that revealed self-righteousness he had not recognized. Avoidance named. Lust named. Marijuana named. The most destructive winds were not circling around his life. They were gathering strength inside it.

For months, Emmanuel drove past the hospital his mother used to check herself into. One evening he gripped the steering wheel and stared at the entrance. A forty-day fast that revealed self-righteousness he had not recognized. Avoidance named. Lust named. Marijuana named. The most destructive winds were not circling around his life. They were gathering strength inside it.
"Avoidance of difficult conversations. Avoidance of responsibility. Avoidance of God. The more I avoided, the stronger the storm became."
