Life Preservers

02/15/19 • 22 min

In this next to last installment of The Parlay, Bea reveals the fact that sometimes couples come together for a multitude of reasons. In the cold of the world, two individuals swirl around each other, and sometimes coalesce into a single. For the fortunate, that singularity remains closely knit and the bonds intensify with time. For the less fortunate, as the two orbit each other the swirl of life prevents the space between from collapsing into togetherness and the individuals are slung back apart.

Those that survive the vortex find themselves a rescuer a preserver of life and limb and a maker of a partner for life.

Baggage Service

We all have memories that hang on and remain stored in the recesses and niches of our mind. Mundane memories float back to our conscious mind only when triggered by an outside stimulus, a familiar refrain, or a faint aroma on a spring breeze. Those memories are harmless and the collection of a life lived. There are memories that float on the conscious which intrude on our daily routine and cannot be shaken. These are the ones we call baggage. We all have it. When you are young its baggage. When you are old its history. Where the line blurs is a call that only the one lugging it all around can decide. The sooner its history the sooner you can categorize it, organize it and learn from it.

DON'T GO MESSING AROUND IN THE DARK

In the final chapter of Season Three, Bea reveals the darkess that tired to surround her and her drag her down in to a bottomless night. This isn't a autum ghost story but a cautionary tale of what does lurk in the night, and the misery it brings and the depth of the darkness it owns.

But the light in Bea’s heart is fueled by another, more Holy Spirit and it cuts through the inky darkness causing shadows to retreat and causes malevolent forces to shrink away. The Spirit of Truth promises a new heart, one that is swept clean of the dirt and debris of our past. The Holy Spirit gives a new heart that is clothed in light, and from which springs a well of living water. Bea emerges from the listless darkness clothed in raiment of righteousness and with a heart for those who have tried the same path.
