Wherever you are in your journey, as you feel what you feel, may you be reminded of a love that enfolds you and a light that leads you.
A feeling of being unfinished
This morning I had to deliver some disappointing news to a friend. This is always an unpleasant thing to have to do especially when you know that the news will cause a certain amount of heartache. I reflect on this and wonder “Where is the Divine in the midst of this?” and I struggle.
In the midst of my wondering, in the background I hear beautiful music being shared by a talented young musician. I tune in to listen more carefully and what I hear being played out for me are a mix of emotions – anxiety, darkness, anger, struggle and then anticipation, freedom, light and joy. As he finishes there is a feeling of being unfinished, there is more yet to come.
A Roller Coaster of Emotions
Perhaps, after all is said and done, this is where I feel and know the message of Divine reality – running in and through everything.
Life is a roller coaster of emotions (whether we want it to be or not). The road we travel is never just one thing or another. Along the way there are moments of deep sadness, disappointment and struggle and there are moments of insight, wonder and joy. Together, these make up the whole of our journey and we find our way through the darkness because of the light. When all is said and done, the end point only to another beginning and we look to what is yet to be.
“Neither death nor life; nor angels or principalities; nor things past or present or yet to come; or anything in all creation can separate us from the love of God” (Romans 8:38-39)
And so I breathe deeply, connecting with divine reality, and look to what lies just beyond the horizon for my friend.
Wherever You are in Your Journey
Wherever you are in your journey, as you feel what you feel, may you be reminded of a love that enfolds you and a light that leads you.
May it be so.
Blessings
