I don't connect to the same things I used to, including writing at times. It is such a dark place to be. But what stood out to me from what you wrote was: "we are made for healing, always moving inexorably...toward that which will heal us and allow us to live more fully and deeply." This makes me think of where I live at the moment, a city I hate that has brought my spirit down. I am only here for school and will move soon, but what you wrote made me wonder whether I was brought here to heal a part of myself that I never knew was broken... thank you.LeaveAMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319800471091799769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524364334037666877.post-60346336987483490792011-11-09T23:16:57.731-05:002011-11-09T23:16:57.731-05:00Beautifully written Oriah!

Sometimes I think it's a resting period or gearing up for the next great feat I'll accomplish... having been through it a few times throughout my life.AJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524364334037666877.post-36042959519842211112011-11-09T22:21:06.589-05:002011-11-09T22:21:06.589-05:00thank you so much for your unfiltered honesty, it ...thank you so much for your unfiltered honesty, it helps more than you know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524364334037666877.post-46838952488637232122011-11-09T15:59:26.852-05:002011-11-09T15:59:26.852-05:00theotheralig- lovely!

Although my marriage ended some years ago, there was much I had not processed and/or let go. Last Thursday, I suddenly felt there was light and peace in my life after half a lifetime.

And. . .pay attention to anything, any place, any situtation etc that seems to elicit even a flicker of life, of interest, of curiosity and enthusiasm. Prayers for ease and clarity.Oriahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13153842083329682011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524364334037666877.post-71316778420842415952011-11-09T11:21:02.172-05:002011-11-09T11:21:02.172-05:00Any advice for those of us who find ourselves in t...Any advice for those of us who find ourselves in the same position- knowing we should have so much to feel grateful for- but feeling overwhelmed by stress and worry and feeling that we've forgotten how to pray- or even what to ask for? I know, I know, a hard and complex question. I'm doing the reading, doing the therapy- in short working hard and honestly on everything I should be- but I still feel empty and stressed way too often. It's soooo frustrating...Miekenoreply@blogger.com
