On the corner of a building

  
   So let's meet on the corner of a building ... on the roof with our feet hanging over. It is again late afternoon evening and the warmth of the low sun is felt on my skin. Jesus. I pull my legs up and lay down on my side and put my head on Your lap. I feel small and I feel the deep need of wanting to be taken care of. I am afraid, I am anticipating (to much probably)and I want this situation to be taken away from me and of it being my responsibility. I close my eyes and almost hold my breath waiting.
 
Would I arrange something you are not ready for?
  No. But You could make me ready just in that moment and that is scary too. 
Isn't it scarier to be somewhere I am not putting you?
  Yes. That would be very horrible. But why this? Why this situation of my life?
Isn't it one that is relevant?
  Yes. 
Have you done what I have asked of you?
  No.
How do I work with disobedience? With refusal?
  The situation doesn't get healed.
And it's not you that is really suffering is it?
  No not really because I had no clue really why it happened in the first place.  Well I need to obey...
Yes. 
   ...I can't say sorry enough times. 
Yes you can, it's only the one sorry that leads to obedience that is really necessary.
