We Survive
Good morning to all my fellow group members....just a thought for today from my heart to yours.
If we have ever wondered about the limits of our strength and our ability to endure, our experience of loss will tell us much. Our life is shaken to the foundation. But we survive. And out of this terrible, rarefied self-knowledge comes, if we are fortunate, a kind of empathy with all of creation...a sense of the wonder at the suffering and the beauty, of the world. We know ourselves to be in this world, to be part of it and also that it is out of our hands. We cannot manage any of it, but we are in the hands of One who can.
In this purifying and terrible wisdom, may I feel the regenerating presence of God, for consolation, and for hope....my wish for you as well.
Hugs of friendship,
Jarcy
