With Love

There is an ebb and flow to life, a back and forth of the bad and good. And when the bad comes at us, which it inevitably will, it is so difficult not to get mired down in the pain of it. 

My family has been touched with some tragidys recently. And the truth of the matter is, when these things happen it can be spirit crushing. You seek out explanations, but more often than not, there are none. And so we turn to whatever we can that brings us comfort, and hopefully it’s not a destructive distraction, but something healthy and good that we can lean on.

It’s in times like these that we have to try to remember that it will get better. Now I am aware that some wounds leave deep scars that never go away, but they do heal. That’s the beautiful thing about life, and about human nature, it’s both incredibly fragile, and terribly resilient.

And we are rarely alone. We humans have this wonderful ability to build circles of loved ones who fill us with the courage to get through things, when we don’t have the ability to generate that courage ourselves.  They cry with us, laugh with us, and pray with until we gain the strength to go forward. We eventually pick ourselves up and move back into the world battle scars and all.

And to those kin of mine that are so close to the tragedies, all I can say is I am, and many others, are sending all the love we possibly have in us so that you can have the strength to get to the healing point.
