From an episode of the TV series "Brothers & Sisters" (Season 1). Reminded me of what a dear fren shared of the difficult journey he's walking through, "sometimes God just wants you to feel the pain....you just have to walk through it." I think there is much honesty and truth in that. There aren't any easy answers for the pain or injustice that some of us have to experience. But when we plunge into the 'dark night of the soul', we can find solace in knowing that we fall into arms of grace.
With that thought...Mich is taking a 'deep spiritual breath' as Oswald Chambers calls it.
Sarah: *in tears* Why can't you say anything? One thing to make this feel better?
Therapist: There are no shortcuts Sarah, in life or in love. This pain must be felt. The alternative is much worse. It's what makes us special, what makes us beautiful, what makes us worthy. The pain of how we love.
But that pain is accompanied by something else isn't it? Hope? With your pain there is hope. And that is where you are. Somewhere between agony, optimism and prayer. So you're human. You're alive...and that is what we have.
