Flying... Falling

He is 15 years old and he wants to fly. But his anger holds him on the ground. It is not that he does not wish to make good choices. He just cannot seem to find the place in his life that affirms the path of difficult righteousness. So he explodes. And the world expects something different of him. And school expects something different of him. We do not ask him why. From a distance, we judge, condemn, and move on. Leaving the young man alone to figure a way forward.
