Thank you for all your kind words and encouragement for us in this time. We are making it through, one step at a time. Each day seems to get a little easier, and the tears, though still freely flowing, are becoming more healing and less hurting.
One of my friends sent this along to me to consider. It's really given me a lot to think about, so I thought I'd share it as it might mean something to you wherever you are in your lives right now.
Transformation Prayer
Transformation is a messy matter...
The distance between an acorn and an oak,
a caterpillar and a butterfly,
a rally and a riot,
a sinner and a saint,
admits of many strange twists and turns.
The scenes are not always beautiful. The process is not always painless.
In the midst of transformation
we can be assured only of unknowing.
The past offers no hope of return.
The future suggests no promise of arrival.
Attentiveness to the journey becomes an important activity,
but always in reference to the unknown
rather than the known.
We must, as the Peruvian proverb indicates,
create a path by walking.
