together let no man put asunder.

To be honest, Ann and I have been

facing a personal family tragedy that

has moved through our lives like a

cyclone. Never have I experienced

sorrow to this depth, descending

into a deeper valley than I imagined  

existed. 

 

Although, I have worked to maintain

some distance in my blog posts, 

I now often feel numb, questioning 

whether I am the appropriate

messenger at this point. With this,

I have at times, questioned the very

underpinnings of my beliefs.

 

Last night, a bit tired and distraught,

I decided that I might have to relinquish 

this mission, and regain my footing in 

this dark night of my soul. 

 

This morning I prayed and meditated 

asking for some guidance that would

direct or inspire me. After meditating,

I started to write note and I just could

not finish it. I decided to start over and

just listen for clear direction. 

 

I then transcribed the note below,

titled Life Set Asunderwhich I feel

is not only the guidance I needed

but worthwhile guidance for anyone 

who may be facing their own particular

life trauma.

 

This note has made me realize that I

should not partition off my sorrow, 

and pretend it is not happening. 

So, I have decided to share what is 

occurring in my life on the blog, and

by doing so, address how I, you, or we

might all possibly recover,  or even

transcend, the suffering we all must

encounter as part of active living.  

  

LIFE SET ASUNDER

In the confusion of life set asunder,

we may be tempted to lose our direction,

to wonder why the hands of fate have

twisted the life out of our existence, 

failing to understand the valleys we

now traverse, will in time, flatten out, 

and begin their ascent once more.


Although we may rail at our lives set

asunder, tempted to discard our faith

and turn away from our true north,

let us be reminded that the topography

we now so reluctantly set foot on, is not

the product of divine will or neglect.

So, how is it that we, with our lives set

asunder, find the strength and courage

to walk through the valleys, we now face?

Perhaps, by remembering who we are,

rather than where we are, by recalling

we have never been, or will ever be, alone!
