Well-adjusted


Hosea 2:6 New English Translation (NET Bible)

The Lord’s Discipline Will Bring Israel Back

Therefore, I will soon fence her in with thorns;
I will wall her in so that she cannot find her way.

 

 

Well-adjusted and grafted in

 

To be whole … another story

 

Here it is. It’s not the same ... appears alike to the senses.

Perceptions are fueling the flame for understanding within its fences.

 

Fences guarding limitations ... to make sure it does not roam

Building its core on facts ... in its search for another clone.

 

It shapes and molds first impressions ... as it winds up at a gate

that was opened without distraction ... to be a copy of another slate.

 

A slate of someone’s understanding ... in the mold of two inmates

who are not able to remove the fences ... only to show another gate.

 

Captured by its imagination ... within the fences well defined

to be adjusted without frustration ... as appearance is all mine.
