When I receive a note like the one below,
I feel compelled to share its message.
I have, as many of you have, experienced
personal suffering in this life. Yet, even as
we are taken to our knees, as our tears
and words are mixed with a poignant – why,
we may realize that this is not a Divinely
directed event, it is simply the nature
of this life, we now live.
I have come to realize that God’s place
is not to ensure that I avoid this suffering,
but that I am supported in overcoming
it when it does occur. And although you may
wince at me saying this, I can only point
to the note below for what appears to be,
at least for me, my answer.
THROUGH EVEN THIS
We are not new; we are not old,
we are eternal, fully connected
to an infinite source of life and being,
a spark of Divine purpose, intention,
one of an infinite multitude of positive
becomings, never alone, always connected -
a vessel of God’s wonder made manifest.
Today, work to perceive this very connection,
for it is - there, even in the turmoil,
even in the suffering, even in the bewilderment –
it is there to support you, comfort you,
enfold you in love and strength and hope,
to dry the tears, to support you up and over
the madness that may, now, envelop you.
Let this day be the first day of your
overcoming, accepting what is, with the
understanding that you are not alone;
accept God’s hand, rise, stepping onward
and through even this.
